Yes, it's out of question that a brand like that can't be changed without great harm.

But I feel the idea behind the commenter and actually like the first suggestion to name it after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotlin,_Greater_Poland_Voivodeship 😄

If the language was called 'Putin' I could understand, but fortunately, it is not... Reminds me a lot to the change of 'master' to 'main', I guess people should focus on fixing problems rather than renaming them

Next thing to rename is Vodka 🙃

[Pablichjenkov]

(Russian people + Russian culture) != Russian Government
🤷‍♂️

I thought it was named after Polish ketchup?

[Marcin Wisniowski]

@Stefan Oltmann But the ketchup is named after that village, where the producer is from.

I’ve actually one of these ketchup bottles in my kitchen, so I am a real Kotlin programmer 😆.

Now it is clear that it is the best language to produce "sauce code" 😉
