Just pointing out here that "rue" is used to express "to regret", emphatically. Perhaps it is not the best name for a programming language.

That’s part of the reason for the name! “Rust” also has negative interpretations as well. A “rue” is also a kind of flower, and a “rust” is a kind of fungus.

Fair enough! I do like how others are framing this is as "write less code" -- if Rue makes one think more and more about the code that finally makes it to the production, that can be a real win.

Sounds fitting to me. Every line of code I wrote that ultimately didn't need code to begin with, is basically codified regrets checked into git.

The best code is the code not written, so perhaps it is the best name for a programming language?
