R is just too ambiguous to be used solo, and calling it dgkf/R feels too vane. I think a rebrand is needed to help give this project a bit of its own identity.

Just to lay out some general themes that resonate with me with this project and its identity.

What is part of the language identity

• developed publicly and visibly
• is developed first and foremost as an educational and exploratory process, with the hopes of building a community of language enthusiasts
• embraces what makes R unique - namely lisp-y metaprogramming wrapped in a more familiar data science shell
• hopes to learn from and reinforce what has made R successful - particularly it's fluency for providing DSLs with enough guardrails to keep the core language familiar. There are good reasons why tidyverse reproductions have sprung up in a number of languages.

What isn't part of the identity

• rust, although a language I enjoy writing in a lot, is not central to the identity of this project
• Although I'm fine with allusions or homages to R, "beating" R is not part of the identity
