[erlang-questions] Coon - new tool for building Erlang packages, dependency management and deploying Erlang services

[Rick Pettit]

As someone who lives in North America, I wouldn’t be terribly excited about the idea of advocating for a piece of software with such a controversial name, to put it mildly.

I have no doubt it would take more work defending the software and explaining the name than it would be to write my own package manager.

I also cannot imagine what a “hero” some of my coworkers (many of which I consider to be close friends) would consider me to be, enabling folks to casually throw out what many know to be a racial slur around the office without fear of consequences.

Of course I could always throw the “intent” argument out there, which would no doubt immediately clear up the optics and melt away all the negative feelings...

Boy this better be one hell of a package manager to be worth all that trouble.
