It is named for the German entomologist Max Joseph Bastelberger.
gollark: Maybe I should write it in Python for now and port it "later".
gollark: The issue is that while the Rust and to some extent Nim versions are principled™, fast, and easy to deploy as they compile to mostly-static binaries, I cannot rapidly write and prototype accursuous code very fast.
gollark: But worse than supreme RUST™ types.
gollark: It isn't very good.
gollark: Oh, also good machine learning libraries.
