This project looks really cool to me.

I'm glad the link to the video is there, because my intuition about pronouncing the name was incorrect.

It looks like it could be "deeno" OR "denno", and I was pushed to the former by the presence of the dinosaur graphic. Isn't that old fashioned dinosaur on the Flinstones pronounced deeno? Anywho... good name overall: short, no collisions (i think?), and no strong baseline associations.

And only right this instant am I realizing that this is an anagram of node... oh my god i'm slow. Now it's a great name.



What video? Mind linking directly?


I think he meant Ryan Dahl's talk: Design Mistakes in Node https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3BM9TB-8yA
