To most native English speakers, "lice" means "头虱". Not sure if that's what you intended, but it does make me feel icky when I open this repository :-)

But I prefer not changing the name.

  • I named this project when I'm in school, I didn't know the word's meaning and I don't have internet access, I just changed the last two letters of "Lisp".
  • I have made lots of related projects and blogs about Lice, and it's difficult to rename all of them
  • There're also some other programming languages with bad names like BrainF*ck.
  • I don't know if it's a good idea to start a new project

I do understand the naming issue. However, I'm planning to start working on some other langauges (CovScript and Carvelang) which are of none-icky names.

Just let it go.

Sure, just trying to give you a heads up about it :-)
