I like that one.

Or how about:

'Speed with Ease'

Which should be taken to mean the "speed" of C++ with the "ease" of Java.


Or

"Have it Both Ways (tm)"

?

Yes, but java projects are all named for coffees.  With your suggestion we would have to use names for big round things, like...

Mango?

Uh, never mind.

Think I need to do some more complete tests with GCC/GDC/GCJ,
to see how far from the real world that statement really is...
