Comment on Roto: A Compiled Scripting Language for Rust

Comments

Roto means "broken" in Spanish.

Just add a "Huevos" prefix and a "S" at the end of the name, and suddenly you're thinking of delicious food instead.

For those who don't speak Spanish, "huevos rotos" are broken eggs (or scrambled eggs).

Edit: I had to double check, because it seems that both translations are valid.

Ah, well, it's a dish, common name for it is "Huevos estrellados" in most places I think though. https://www.google.com/search?q=huevos+rotos&tbs=imgo:1&udm=...

Scrambled eggs would be "huevos revueltos"

Edit: in Spain at least. YMMV for other Spanish-speaking countries.

Either that or an unfortunate accident
