One of many name changes in the product's history (including
amongst others, Java somethingortheother, Workshop, Proworks/Teamworks,
and probably more I've forgotten). Of course, the versions and features
change too. It's always been a good product -- shame about the naming.

Sun Studio is newer.

The names have changed as well.

I could not agree with your more.

The change from SunOs to Solaris was unnecessary and added a degree of
confusion, which is still persists to this day, albeit rather small now
as Solaris has been around a long while.

But the almost constant changing of compiler names is just ridiculous.

Is it done to keep the staff in the marketing department in a job?

When[1] the compiler names are changed again , perhaps "dynamic" would
be sensible, to indicate the name is characterised by constant change.

[1] I think it is safe to say 'when' rather than 'if'.

Any guesses for when the next compiler name change will occur? Can we
get to the end of 2006 without another compiler name change?
