I understand that you're not responsible for the unfortunate name of
the Bro language, and while it might be that the name references an
Orwellian "Big Brother" more than it refers to bro culture, I still
can't get behind including or linking to a project in a language that
has such a non-inclusive name.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px">That
obviously sucks for the effort you've put into this project, and sucks
for Bro users that won't be able to find easily. But overall, it sucks
even more for women who feel excluded from programming because of such
poor naming choices.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><div dir="auto" style="font-size:12.8px"><div dir="auto">Of course, I’ll happily include your project if the programming language changes name.</div><div>/quote end/<br><br></div><div>It sounded very weird for me originally.

Has it been discussed in any way in the bro community?<br><br></div><div>I think it might be a good idea to have at least an article with explanation of the origins of the "bro" name and the stand towards inclusiveness.
