Dear zlang community,

I would like to request a rename of the Z programming language to "Slava Ukraine" in support of Ukraine amidst the current conflict with Russia.

As many of you may know, Z is the Russian symbol of war, and given the recent events in Ukraine, it seems inappropriate to continue using a language with such a name.

By renaming the language to "Slava Ukraine," we can show our support for Ukraine and its people during these difficult times. Additionally, this would be a small but meaningful gesture to demonstrate solidarity with those who are affected by the ongoing conflict.

I understand that renaming a programming language is a significant undertaking, but I believe that it would be a worthy effort to make a difference. I would like to request that the zlang community support this initiative and work towards implementing the change.

Thank you for considering this request.

Oh no. This is such an old project of mine... I wasn't keeping track of it and didn't make this connection. Renaming the entire language is quite the undertaking, especially because it's no longer actively maintained. Perhaps a disclaimer would do just service - or including a Ukrainian flag in the README?
