nice but maybe too politically charged?

Thinking it over, maybe, vizir would be a better name
- is shorter
- is french for vizier (and an alternative English spelling)
- respects the trend of vowel dropping
I like it, because, vizir is someone who orchestrates/manages things, but ultimately is not in charge.
Exactly what a build system should do.

Just be aware that thereās an old french comics, featuring an anti-hero called āiznogoudā, who is a vizir (and wants to become calife in place of the current calife). What does that tell us on jbuilder?

just a heads-up: there is a parallel name discussion going on in the issue thread linked in the first post, with almost non-overlapping name suggestions. taster: pyramid, gobi, obuilder
Our Vizir will be āVerygoudā.

Folk, I made a poll to get some aggregation of the overall opinions.
https://poll.disroot.org/JPZV4Zt5fG14MwWM
The names are loosely in the order I saw from here and in Github, omitting ones that didnāt seem to get any favour.
If Iāve missed your favourite one, mention me with the name.

Dune would bridge OCaml and Dune books, that would be amazing.

@orbifix Could you add Giza, please?
I saw no option for vizir which was my favorite suggestion so far.
Since dune seems to attract attention, I also propose sand.
Added giza, vizir and sand.
āmeharisteā is suggested in an issue comment, but the poll lists āmaharisteā. Is it possible to rename the entry in the poll? Until now, if one saw āmaharisteā and didnāt know its meaning, it was difficult to search for the suggestion. If itās difficult to rename the option without losing existing votes, or just not worth the trouble regardless, this post now provides a pointer.
Oops. Fixed. Was easy to remove and add as there was only one tentative vote.
Llamas because they are the camels cooler cousin, in all seriousness here are my suggestions,
convoy, forger, fabricate, mason, artisan, motorcade, vulcan, regin, perdix.
Would you consider narrowing it down? The table is getting big. If you gave me one or two I could add them.
Just added my vote for dune. Considering the likely target demographics (nerdy computer scientists), this cannot be beat in marketing appeal. Not to mention that itās short: most people will type it with two fingers only!
