@bagder I say this very advisedly... Yes, but only if it's an otter 🦦 🙂

Other aquatic mammals are available!

@bagder Isn't curl already partnered with L'Oréal?

For premium support, you can buy the gold edition

If you actually go for this wacky idea please let me know. It's going on my CV 😉

P.S. The Curlew is called Colin and his partner is Carys. Their kids are Alice, Bob and Charles 😂

@bagder If it turns out to become a curly brace, I pledge to sponsor 100 custom curly brace plushies for celebration!

I enjoy someone's suggestion that the mascot would be named Nebraska

@bagder throwing in a vote for the Curlew! Specifically the Bush Stone-Curlew to rep Australia

@bagder badger is the only valid option.

@bagder
I think badger and the curled snake are the coolest ones

@bagder not sure it qualifies as a mascot if its not a fluffy anthropomorphic animal, but... a curling stone is what popped into my mind anyway.

@bagder Hard to choose from so many good options. Maybe give each command line argument it's own mascot? 🤔

@bagder C lion is an IDE by Jetbrains, might want to avoid that particular spelling.
Lynx is a software package also.
