@nadiyar @dentangle the point of using “main” instead is that master-slave rhetoric is not something that should be permiating software development
I used to think people choose main because it's short and obvious.
Though someone just mentioned this could have other meanings..

@nadiyar I used to think "master" sounded cool too. Then I learned that it makes a lot of people uncomfortable so I stopped using it and switched to "main".
Now, when I see people ardently defending its use, I see people who care more about their own rights and preferences than those of other people. It's a pretty clear signal that they aren't people I want to spend time with.
