> We decided to avoid using “free” or “libre” in the name ... Projects like Blender, Krita, or Godot are awesome, and they don’t need to convince you about their libre nature by putting it in their names.

so... we decided to add the name of the programming language we use instead?

I think it's very wise to market your product on something people might actually care about.

Free/Libre is a fine philosophy, but as a selling point it has had a very disappointing history.
