Fan programming language name
The name of the Fan programming language isn't ideal for Googling. I want Fan to be successful, but that means growing dramatically from where it currently is. To achieve that will require developers to be able to Google the name of the language successfully. This poll seeks to find out what opinions are of the name, and possible alternatives.
