wait, so when .io gets deregistered, are a load of companies going to have to rename their root directories and rewrite all of their include statements?

Thankfully, despite naming them like that, it doesn't actually seem to have any real purpose. Apparently they just wanted to make sure that different companies making different libraries didn't accidentally use the same name for their project....

That’s exactly the reason. And also no company is going through the bother to refactor that shit, so everything is named based on some other company 5 mergers and acquisitions ago.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
