Module names should be descriptive, not fancy.
Interesting comment, on a mailing list for a language named after a snake,
especially by a guy who claims to prefer an language named after a fish :-)
Well, he did say "module names", not "language names". Few language
names are descriptive, and those that are tend to be acronyms: BASIC,
LISP, COBOL, PHP, APL. Note that while that last one is descriptive,
it does very little to distinguish itself from any other programming
language.
It's just so unfair, poor old CORAL gets left out of this type of list
every time :(
