Also while the NeurIPS name thing is totally tangential to this entire fiasco, as someone whose life work is on a system named by some French dude in the 1980s as an intentional joke to make anglophones talk about men's genitals, I have so much respect for that name change.

Even worse, the same joke was perpetuated in naming Agda, but with a strange allusion to Swedish folk music? Come on.

This is the namesake of Agda like you all had so many years to not perpetuate the genitals jokes and yet

Woah I had no idea how dirty this song was. The Wikipedia page makes it seem very tame… I *preferred* talking about Agda because it caused less questions. 😬

Advice from Coq devs is to use "Gallina" around total strangers if Coq raises too many questions

Thanks! I was confused by why both names were used in places, but this makes a ton more sense. To be honest I wish it was more explicitly said, but I understand the difficulty.

Officially, Gallina refers to the proof term language, but it serves this purpose well enough.

Yeah was aware, more was confused when it was used to refer to the system itself. 😅
