Show HN: Chili. Rust port of Spice, a low-overhead...
The "chile" spelling is from Spanish, particularly Mexican and Central American Spanish. The word is derived from Nahuatl (Aztec).
That said, I'm in northern US and I would spell the pepper "chili"

Oddly I associate `chile` with the pepper and `chili` with the stew. Curiously chili pepper seems to be the common spelling around where I live so I have no clue where I picked this up.

And the name of the country Chile has no relation to the nahuatl word for pepper but comes from a word in a south American language (likely Aymara)
