Comment on Ask HN: What would you call a package whose purpose is to import data?

Comments

The misspellings of import sound like they’d be a nightmare. Something like ingest sounds much better.

To come up with other names I’d probably think about additional context. What is being imported, how is it being done? Can those concepts be spun into a name?

I'm with you on the misspellings. This is why we ultimately ruled out any of those options.
