This is unfortunate for German, but not a big deal for most other-language speakers, I think. I could of course be off, but as an English-speaking American who's likely a bit more knowledgable about WWII than average, the unfortunateness of "NS" has never crossed my mind before and I'd have never even known about the issue with "KZ" if it hadn't been mentioned here.
Anyway, it seems an odd request to make of an apparently Polish person.
Take any unfortunate combination that rings a bell in the us and american people will have the same problem. Something slightly sexual and racy, especially.
Upon review, I made it sound like you were suggesting that it should be changed; but you hadn't, and had only pointed out the contextual awkwardness. I apologize.
What makes it even worse is the name KZPlayground, for me personally stuff like that sends shivers down my spine, though I'm slightly biased (being Austrian, family history, etc.).
kz can thoug also be the TLD/country code for Kazakhstan, there are just a lot of ambiguities in all the human languages and product naming can be a real pain (some car-makers have some experience with especially bad naming :) )
Thanks for demonstrating that linking Playgrounds to Swift was just a marketing gimmick. Apple could have easily (probably more easily) done playgrounds with Objective-C.
This isn't a backport of the Xcode 6 Playground feature to Objective-C. It's an iPad view controller and glue code intended for the simulator; you add your own code and the view controller provides controls that correspond to Playground features.
A big part of Apple's Playgrounds is how it shows you the value produced by every line of code, shows how many times loops were executed, and allows you to view a complete history of the values any particular variable took on during a loop. This is hard to accomplish, as it requires modifying the compiler to output instrumented code (and it's also why Swift playgrounds don't execute very fast). This Objective-C version doesn't appear to do any of that. It looks great and that's not meant as criticism in any way, but it's not reasonable to take this and turn it into some Apple bashing.
It is nothing fancy than run-time code injecting.Its not playground or not meant to be as playgound show each line output.It is runtime injecting you can do easily with tools out there for clang like dyci or code injector.You can run your app without compile this better defines code injecting.
The documentation clearly states that it uses dyci: "KZPlayground is powered by Dyci code injection tool". This project is doing what open source is intended for - it uses existing tools to build new things.
