Yeah, I wish they hadn't clobbered the name of an existing, well-known protocol. It's still used in drivers for cellular modems (I'm working with it right now), which are getting more and more numerous for IoT applications.
They might be searchable on the wider internet if you’re looking for info on them, but I can never remember them when I need them on the actual system.
On my windows PC, I type ‘note’ and slam enter to open notepad a thousand times a day without a problem. On my KDE desktop ‘text’ seems to 50/50 bring up… whatever the text editor is called and 50/50 something else. Apparently “Kate” is what I’m after.
There is real value in naming things after what they do and it’s my sole gripe with KDE that they have stupid names.
I agree that 'go' has to be the worst naming from an SEO perspective. Only ones worse a single letter names. And TBH, they might be _better_ simply because they aren't a common English language word.
I think to use the fetus the @ should represent a kernel, object, but in a generic form such / representing the top of the tree.
I can also see the term becoming controversial such male and female vs. plug and socket. Some see the former as blatantly sexual and the latter requiring dirty mind to be sexual.
Maybe it's best to hold off on that reference until we get more voices to chime in.
LOL I was mostly thinking of the swiss roll but I know it's only called rocambole in Brazil. It's got all sorts of names all over the world according to Wikipedia
I've certainly had to implement AT commands in C, but within a proprietary codebase.
It's tough to do in a freestanding way given that it's a command-response protocol. It's very convenient to depend on the specific uart API that's available.
