On: Glimmer: DSL Framework for Ruby GUI and More

[jonkoops]

Note there is already UI component framework called Glimmer that is used by Ember.js: https://glimmerjs.com/. It's pretty much upstreamed into Ember itself these days, but the devs also have a big Rails background so I found the coincidence funny.

As a long time rubyist, I know that Andy's Glimmer preceded Yehuda's.

The first commit to the Ruby Glimmer project (2008-11-25 is the earliest I found) long predates the first commit to even Ember itself (2011-04-30).

what's even more weird is there was a similar naming situation with another wycats-associated project: Handlebarsjs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1677499
