Term::Kaka - a subclass of Term::Caca with virtually identical behavior

Subject: B<libcaca <-- our framebuffer>

|
|
B<John Beppu> to Pip
|
|
|
|
Pip,
|
|
|
|
Based on the name alone, I think this should be the basis of the
|
|
framebuffer for ASCIIker. Even if the name weren't so apropos, the
|
|
library itself looks really good to me in terms of how it's coded and
|
|
the API that it provides. I think making a set of perl modules around
|
|
this and making a Term::Caca distribution would be the right thing for
|
|
me to do.

B<Pip Stuart> to me
|
|
|
|
My only gripe is ... well the spelling. I believe it should almost
|
|
always be spelled 'kaka'. Both spellings have been understood &&
|
|
acceptable according to linguists for quite some time but... my
|
|
highschool friends && I agreed that the K makes it harder && harsher
|
|
... && when you're discussing kaka... it should be harsh... it should
|
|
sound harsh... it should smell harsh. The C is like a lame copout &&
|
|
should only be used by the uninformed or for temperament (which I have
|
|
never employed when referring to kaka). Maybe it's like eskimos with
|
|
tons of names for snow. I think of all sorts of stuff ... refuse...
|
|
somewhat affectionately yet recognizing the crap nature... in order of
|
|
use: kaka, dung, poop, crap, plop, slop, spit, stuf, shat, stul...
|
|
shit is reserved for extreme occasion. These are all my 4-letter
|
|
variable names that have been with me for a long time. This is deeply
|
|
rooted in me &&... I can't imagine ever accepting the C spelling.
|
|
It's weird... I could accept alternate spellings of any of the others
|
|
but I must protest for kaka. I know it's rather difficult to take
|
|
this complaint seriously since it... well has no technical basis ...
|
|
but kaka is kaka... it's like KAKA!!! I know that's a lame argument.
|
|
I'm not prepared to defend it more soundly... maybe the module could
|
|
be Term::Kaka that wraps libcaca? I know that's probably weird but...
|
|
what else can I say? It should be libkaka.

|
|
=head2 but kaka is kaka... it's like KAKA!!! -Pip
|
|
|
|
...as opposed to 'caca', and thus, Term::Kaka was born to make Term::Caca
|
|
be, sound, and smell harsh.
