Well, I'll speak up. I find the name needlessly crude and offensive. I
see no reason to use such a name and would strongly prefer that Parrot
didn't. Parrot is a collective project representing a community of
developers, and I, for one, don't wish to be associated with needlessly
crude and offesnsive language.

Good for you, I agree (FWIW, since I haven't done much parrot dev - yet),
and it's also unprofessional, which may not matter now but might down the
road. Yes, the language is called that... do we have to (sorry) parrot it?

The point is well-taken. We need to either rename the directory and
appropriately excise the docs, or move this out of the repository.

Since this thread has resurfaced, I'll speak up too. And my
not-so-humble opinion is: It's just a word--get over it.
Generally, I try to avoid these words in mixed company, since other
people dislike them, sometimes very strongly. But in this case,
Brainfuck already has an established name. We should use it, even if a
couple people won't understand that it wasn't our idea to call it that.

language. However, I also don't like the fact that something with the name
"Brainfuck" comes with the core of parrot. What if we moved its
distribution out of CVS and just put it on the webpage, or something of that
nature?

Sorry, but try explaining that to my young daughter who was reading over
my shoulder last evening asking "What are you working on, Daddy?"
It's "just a word", yes, but I think it's a needlessly crude and offensive
word. I understand and respect that others disagree.

There are a lot of words, Brent--that doesn't mean they're all
appropriate in all situations.
It's not our language to rename, though, so either the creator OKs it
or it goes. If there's an acceptable alternative spelling, we can use
that too.

The web site in the README in the parrot sources uses 'bf', as does at
least one of the sites referenced from there.

bf it is, then. We'll get that dealt with in the repository.
