So I believe that if we will change the name, it might help.
This kind of topic had been arised a few times. Basically I agree with this idea if it means we should change the name of the compiler, not the name of the language itself.
We just can't change the language name, just like what Jonas had said, it's just simply (object) pascal. However, we could learn from Borland that named their IDE as "Delphi" though it still uses object pascal language. Or learn from SUN, that named their language as "Java" though it's pretty another variant of C++.
Somehow good names are able to bring lucks and bussiness people just love good names (they called them as "marketable"). :D
What do you think ? And what name will you prefer to see FPC as ?
I don't have good ideas, yet. But it should able to reflect FreePascal very well, like fast, cross platform, free, etc. Puma sounds nice, but we must open for other alternatives. ;)
