Whoever works with Hadoop tech would find names like: Hadoop Spark Cassandra HBase Accumulo Hive Pig Impala Oozie YARN Kafka Flume Sqoop ...
Go datascience and you'll get: R Shiny Jupyter Pandas Bokeh D3 And in JS: Node Angular Express descriptive names? Not at all. What matters is not the name, it is its description. And, know what, put a generic name and it will be ungooglable. Try with Visual Studio Code ... Pfah, descriptive project names... As if these were descriptive: Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (Trusty Tahr) Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS (Precise Pangolin) Oh yeah super descriptive names: Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router Have a clue? Enjoy, they have a bunch and renamed a few: https://www.oracle.com/products/oracle-a-z.html Want to know? Pay the dues.
