Its pretty hard to come up with a unique name these days. For the most part I’m ok with whatever the developer likes. Lately switched my code from ‘serialport’ to ‘serialport-rs’. Takes a bit of cognitive effort to keep those separated, a downside of similar names. And if you want to find a lib like http-server, how are you going to search for it?
Maybe a better way to go is with functional naming but with author attribution. So google/http-server or joebobs/http-server. In rust, unfortunately packages don’t have author attached so unique names are necessary.
