Hi,
I propose to generalizing the specification [1,2] as we already have for
Perl, Python and Java for most programming languages. In short:
Package names should be prefixed with the name of the language and if
the package name already contains the name of the language, it gets
removed there.
I quickly scanned the current package definitions and found:
guile: 2 package to change
haskell: ca. 2 package to be changed
julia: 0
d (lcd.xscm): 0
nqc (lego.scm): 0 --> prefix "lego-"? OTOH this is a commercial brand
lua: 0
m4: 0
ocaml: 1
ruby: 0
r (statistics.scm): 0
scheme: 1 or 2
smalltalk: 0
tcl: 0
Maybe we should extend this even to frameworks like node.js?
Comments are welcome.
