FUSE, because googling for names already in use is too hard.

Or because no one could confuse a graphic library with a file system library !?

This is actually very common for the same name to be used in different contexts.

Thanks for being reasonable. It's sometimes shocking to see how inflexible some minds are.

Let's focus on the library and the amazing work behind it.

Unfortunate name choice.

This is a hilariously terrible name.

It’s like starting a brand new car company named Toyota

Except it's producing delicious food instead of cars.

Ok, nice trick, you got your 15 minutes of fame. Now please change that name to something else.

FUSE is an open source library[1] for visually programming on the GPU, built to enable rapid workflows and modular approaches to accelerated graphics, logic and computation.

FUSE is built for use in vvvv gamma[2] and follows it’s ‘always runtime’ model allowing for fast design and programming work with no build or compile process in between you and your results.

Instant and visual, so you can work fast and play freely. [...]

FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is an interface for userspace programs to export a filesystem to the Linux kernel. The FUSE project consists of two components: the fuse kernel module (maintained in the regular kernel repositories) and the libfuse userspace library (maintained in this repository). libfuse provides the reference implementation for communicating with the FUSE kernel module.

thanks for posting. would be curious to see more demos of what it can do!

First of all I am not one of the authors.

There is going to be a demo/presentation next Tuesday (14/09/21): https://www.thefuselab.io/news/preview-release-presentation

Also feel free to join the Fuse community chat on Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#VL.Fuse:matrix.org

Stupid and lazy naming. Why bother looking at it further?!

Are you seriously asking that?

This looks amazing..!! Awesome work, can’t wait to explore it!
