been thinking about a final name for LRDL when the first release is ready.
i'm going through a lot of names. presently i'm liking BraidsL (for Braids Language).
1) it's quite googleable
2) phonetically it sounds like the german word brezel (which sylvia came up with but is taken)
3) makes choice of logo easy for me
4) suggests coders need weaving skills
5) can reuse .b file extension
6) braids are pretty
but i don't think this is it.

four years ago i started this semantic R&D path which is now coming to a close; i thought "why don't i rename LRDL to the name i picked in the beginning", but, guess what, in the meantime several services named "frameloop" have popped up.
i still think the OO's pointing at each other and themselves in the logo is very clever so ... uh... if i come up with a novel name with two O's in it, i can reuse this.
names that put off techbros are especially welcome.
there's still Frood, as in "this frood really knows where their towel is", which would also take care of a catchphrase i suppose.
"nobros" is also untapped as a name for a programming language. it's great because it sounds vaguely greek, and you think it's something cool like "ouroboros". but then you learn "oh... literally 'no bros'. ok. 😔"
@lritter `loom` is weaving-adjacent, maybe there's something adjacent there to look at. `inkle` looms are for belts and thin stuff, which is sort of like a braid. You could get cutesy with `boople`. `froodloop` or `hoopyloop`
I like `nobros`!
