Description
not urgent, flagging so it's a decision not a surprise.
spin collides with Fermyon Spin — also a
WASM serverless framework, same space the spike's wasm path lands in. real
confusion risk IF this is promoted broadly.
- fine for a personal / spinel-scoped tool (the spinel pun makes it ours)
- revisit if it goes wide
alt names considered in the design convo: wisp, ember, flume, quay. no
decision needed now; parking the context here.
