<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
So far we have: IQL, Ickle, QuIL, YAQL, LQID, INAQL, INQL, WTF,
NSFW, KMFDM. <br>
<br>
I do not like acronyms that are not straight forward. They should
really be the initials of the simplest description of what the
thing is. In this case the acceptable one would be : Infinispan
Query Language => IQL. Unfortunately this seems to mean
different things to different people. So let's forget about
acronyms and go with ... <b>Ickle</b> [1][2][3], proposed by
Tristan.<br>
<br>
A very respectable bearded fellow once said: "There are only two
hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming
things." So let's use this as an excuse and dare to (maybe) settle
on a less than perfect name :). At least it is a damn cute one.<br>
<br>
Thanks Tristan for the name!<br>
Cheers!<br>

name thread ;)

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
something trivial and fun for a Monday morning.
I've just issued a PR [1] to update the codename for Infinispan 9.0.
And while we're at it, let's give a name to the new query language that
Adrian (and Emmanuel) have designed. We already have a number of
suggestions (which I summarize below) but please feel free to add your
own. Please vote.
IQL (Infinispan Query Language, already used by others).
Ickle (Alternate pronunciation of above, also means "small")
LQID (Language for Querying Infinispan Datagrids)
QuIL ("Query Infinispan" Language)
