- The name is to easily confused with xorg and people already have a hard time telling groq and grok appart.
I would suggest rebranding if you just released it.
- I agree, I saw Xorq and with the font I have, it looked like Xorg.
No offense, but I avoid AI like a plague, so I saw this I thought "WHY?", thinking it was X11 (Xorg).
Now a bit of a rant. Why or why do people have to use X??? for their products, time to come up with something else. If I was the Xorg foundation I would have sued Twitter. And I would have sent a letter to the smaller tech people using X for their product :)
- this is really useful. In our case, we are inspired by a terminal game called Zork, which is an Activision trademark. So, we tried to be creative and replacing Z with X made sense at the time. Of course, we did not want to be like any "dork", hence the Q.
Now I read this tought process above, I think this leaves much to be desired.
- great point...honestly this will be our 3rd rebrand, but worth considering. I am just hoping that we are in a different enough space that it could slide....
- Yeah, please don't stick with Xorq, it's so visually similar to Xorg, it looks like the bottom of the g didn't render, which is totally possible on the web.
- I think so too...seriously considering changing the name
- And how do you pronounce it? EX-ork, Zork, Ex or Que?
- pronounced "zork" per: https://www.xorq.dev/blog/introducing-xorq
- The point was it's not obvious.
- But why yaml?
- As opposed to Substrait? I think there is certainly a path to converting to Substrait as one of the outputs for on-the-wire format to send query plans to various engines. YAML as such gives a human-diffable representation that can be checked-in to git. Let me know your thoughts...we are super early so happy to take in feedback...
