To be fair, the word 'reflux' does have significant meaning outside the context of gastrointestinal disease. I agree some people might have unpleasant associations to the word, but for me this is the first thing that comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflux

As someone suffering from non-erosive esophageal reflux disease (N.E.R.D., btw), I take no offense from one of the libraries being called Reflux.

Drama much?

Well, there's Mono...

A language runtime for Unix systems...

It gives me an uneasy feeling too. It's slightly better than calling a library Vomit.js.

Who knows? Bunch of cheeky bastards with a flux capacitor obsession really.

Bigger issue is that utility f.lux.

I once saw someone rant for pages and pages about how "flux" was a terrible name for anything because it was an archaic term for diarrhea.

haha that's funny! because recently I had reflux disease :)
