Charmer? CharmIt? Charming? CharmHPD? Charmplus? Superintendentchalmers? The problem here isn't that PyCharm came second or that Jetbrains will have an issue. The problem here is that it's so many conversations will go

I dunno, maybe. They're so completely different that it seems extremely unlikely to me that anyone will confuse the two in a conversation with any context whatsoever. The conversation you made up would almost certainly start with a discussion about scientific parallel programming. Any discussion I've ever had about charm++ (too many, I'm afraid) wouldn't have been confused for a discussion about an IDE.

Either way, it's done.
