I like it (for otherwise generic names); it quickly shows which language the library is for, reduces name collisions, and makes Googling easier.

That's fair, but I feel like most languages have searchable package repositories, and I'd be searching in one of those, eliminating the need for such naming.

I can hande the "py" prefix or suffix (hopefully lower-cased though), but the dash is too much!

I tend to see it a lot in python, go and rust as of late.

This is part of Python culture.

That's like me saying "can we stop choosing HN usernames that contain programming references?"
