This project could use a catchier name.

The goal is to make it possible to fuzz libraries with large API surfaces. This is currently impractical because fuzzing harnesses have to be written manually. This project aims to automate that.

The name should reflect that. Please put your name suggestions in the comments, one comment per name.

fuzzmylib

Exactly one result in google (before this comment was posted): https://www.google.com/search?q=fuzzmylib

Makes for nice (hypothetical, future) cargo command: cargo fuzzmylib init, etc - similar to the established cargo fuzz. Perhaps too similar?

If it was a cargo command, that would make sense. But for the name of a project, I rather like SilkWyrm -- a mythological creature with no results related to software. Because, you see, silkworms create a lot fuzz...

... but if you'd rather not have such a silly pun for the name of it, I understand.

Google autocorrects "silkwyrm" to "silkworm", and even that produces a lot of results, so I'm afraid that's a no-go from the discoverability standpoint.

Another unique result on google: "fuzzfestation", short of "fuzz" and "infestation". Might have a negative connotation to it though?

Usually "infestation" is negative, but software has all sorts of terms where connotations are ignored, so I am not sure if it's that big a deal.

That did make me think of the more positive "fuzzfest", but that seems to be a concert.
