• Does mention the project will be a "wiki". Also, "curry" will not generally be associated with functions by external visitors, even if this seems to be based on the programming language with the same name – that, by the way, no-one said will be used in the project, let alone be one of the main languages. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 09:09, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

  It's not a reference to that one language, it's a reference to Haskell Curry in general, a mathematician who studied lambda calculus/combinatory logic (which relates to functions), and who gave his name to currying, which is another function-related concept.

  Thanks, I'd forgotten the name of the mathematician the programming language Haskell is named after. This shows the background of the name will probably not be clear to everyone, which would be new for WMF projects. 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 18:25, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

• This would be difficult for people to search for. - Nikki (talk) 15:52, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
