Why have the Lang part? Just call it Crab.

i had considered this; might not be opposed...

I agree with this.

I like trav's suggestion in discord of going with "crablang/crab" for the repo. "crabc" looks better than "crablangc" to my eye.

crabc could be the name of our compiler!

Upon rereading this, I think that may be what @dogue in fact was suggesting with "crabc". Idk if I can claim it as my idea lol

Make sure to keep this repository alive and add a link to the new crablang/crab repo in the README so the urls people are sharing don't break.

Having a name that is a new unique word makes searching for relevant info much easier. Not just on the web, but also on filesystems, package managers etc.

i.e. The whole reason people needed to use "golang", because the word "go" diluted search results so badly.

Obviously "crab" is a rarer word, but the same logic still applies to some degree.

Yep that is why we are prefixing it with "crablang". So that the repo is "crablang/crab"

like "crabc", "crabfmt" makes a lot more sense than "crablangfmt". the go formatter isn't "golangfmt" either.

Yep. I think we can actually close the issue at this point. The rename has occurred 😎

so i reset based on current upstream, and i replaced the readme with crablang readme. but there are still instances of crablang that need changed to crab, if anyone wants to do that. website should stay crablang, other things should not. could probably remove and add !TODO for missing docs, etc, for now.
