I really dislike that BlueSky named their protocol the "AT protocol" [1], when we already have the AT command set which remains important [2].

I can forgive them that. There are only 26*26 = 676 two-letter acronyms to go around, and they had the decency to call it "AT protocol" which makes it clearly different from "AT command set".

well if you think the name is bad, there's also Go, which is conveniently typed as Golang.
