Isn't Myrddin another name for Merlin or something...maybe Latin?
Myr is too much like Mir (Russian space station).
Edit: Wikipedia search says it is Welsh for Merlin & Merlinus is Latin for it.

(Author here) I've been thinking of renaming it. Maybe next release.
The humor on the site along with release art and naming is very 9front.
That being said, there is also a current port to 9front, a modernized plan 9 fork(RFNOPUN).

Seems pretty well thought out...
> It features strong type checking, generics, type inference, closures, and traits. It aims to fit into a similar niche as C, but with fewer bullets in your feet.
> Myrddin does not aim to explore the forefront of type theory or compiler technology. It does not focus on guaranteeing perfect safety. It is satisfied to be a practical, small language.
Maybe one day he'll shorten it to Myr like Nimrod shortened to Nim? Would be easier to remember how to spell it.
