Is this supposed to be a reference to something? I'm not following this logic :(

Stop being smart. The tool is called GetAda, what does it do? It gets ada. What would byron do? will you remember 3 years from now?

What happens when the community decides this one isn’t good enough and comes up with a replacement? The problem I’ve always had with these descriptive names is (a) they are often hard to google because they conflict with all sorts of documentation about the problem space and (b) when they’re deprecated, they become a trap for beginners. “Cute” project names are better for the same reason as we don’t name children and pets random English phrases describing them.

Well then surely it should be "UpdAda"?

(I hardly...)
