Thanks. Interesting story then with the back-forth moves. I wonder if there might be some confusion between then Ray "Plasma" and Arrow "Plasma" (as they seem to be different now). I guess neither Ray nor Arrow has the name "trademark" on it in any way (nice name BTW). Maybe (and I am sure Ray founders are listening here ;) ) - there should be some effort from Ray to trademark it and get some nice "Rename agreement/clarification" with Arrow since Arrow does not seem to care :) ?
The reason I am suggesting it, is when I first heard of it, and searched, and asked my friend - he mentioned to me that it WILL be forked in the future but it's the same now. Which I understand already happened and it's not the same already. I only found out the story by knowing the Apache Way and digging > 8 month back in the devlist. So - just a suggestion - maybe worth clarifying it as Ray becomes more and more popular - both Arrow community and Ray might suffer due to people understanding the relation and state differently and jumping to assumptions (as my friend did).
