Package name – AlgorithmsInterface.jl?

[kellertuer]

I was starting to set up everything and noticed that I was not completely rigorous in the naming myself. So here is a discussion about the name

• IterativeAlgorithmsInterface.jl is maybe a bit long but currently the name of the repository
• AlgorithmsInterface.jl is the current name of in the Project.toml (so Ikept it in setting up keys and such)
• any other ideas?

I feel the shorter name is maybe a bit nicer, since algorithms are super often iterative anyways, since otherwise one would just defined a function in Julia anyways.

I can think of several permutations involving IterativeAlgorithmTools.jl, IterativeAlgorithmUtilities.jl, AlgorithmUtilities.jl`, ...

I don't think anything really jumps out to me as obviously superior, so I don't think it matters too much. I'm not too bothered with the length, for long names (which they all kind of are), I either import everything at the top, or simply use import IterativeAlgorithmsInterface as IAI so I'd prefer clarity over "convenience". However, these are all pretty clear to me so 🤷 .
Overall AlgorithmsInterface seems very reasonable.

I do not like Tools, Utilities or such, I would prefer to either to IterativeAlgorithmsInterface or leave out the Iterative since Algorithm basically implies that already. If it is ok, I would rename the repo then, since the package in source code already has the name AlgorithmsInterface.jl We can claim we do AI then 😄

Wait, AI is already taken, that obviously means Automatic Integration!
(yes, definitely okay, I'm already enjoying the idea of struct MyProblem <: AI.Problem)
