You know, it bothers me so much when this shows up as a criticism. You didn’t say it as one, but when I released the Q platform, for social networking apps, which we worked for years on since 2010 and earlier, people told us “rename your library, there is already a famous library Q for promises”.

Well, now promises are native and that Q library isn’t a big deal.

But meanwhile I had to constantly defend with logical arguments, until I gave up and had our team overhaul the entire codebase and marketing JUST so the very vocal squeaky wheel developers could get past the naming issue and focus on what the actual benefits of the platform are.
