Apologies in advance for the slightly off-topic comment, but does anybody else find the name "Futhark" a bit.. erm... I dunno, "off-putting" for lack of a better term? What I mean is, I don't work with the language or anything, so it's never "top of mind" for me. And every time I see it show up on HN (or whatever) for some reason when I see that name something "pattern matches" and makes me think it's some eso-lang ala INTERCAL, Befunge, Malbolge, etc. It's only if I click through on the link and do some reading that I'm reminded that "Oh, this is something serious."
Probably it's just a me thing, but I'd be curious to know if anybody else experiences this with regards to Futhark.
