The name popped in my mind one day. I coined Rite as "Ruby that
should be light (both syntax and implementation)" afterwards.

AFAIK and FWIW japanese doesn't have 'L' there's not "la li lu le lo"Eric said:
but "ra ri ru re ro" so 'Lite' would be written as 'Rite' i.e. リテ
maybe is just that... so it's intentionally accidental ;-)

「リテ〠doesn't make much sense as a transliteration of Rite, it sounds
like "lee-tay". I think it should be 「ライトã€

Since Matz said it was about "lightness" I used リテ meaning lite, but
guess I'm so used to transliterate kana to my own lang(spanish) that I
forgot that lite is english and it would sound like "lait" in spanish so
it would be equal(plus some rules, no lone 't' so 'to') in japanese, so
yes ライト would be if it's about pronunciation.

|Is the 'R' vs. 'L' intentional (like Rinda), or accidental?
Intentional. We are making fun of ourselves.

To quote from _Lost in Translation_, Scarlett Johansson's character
talking to Bill Murray's character:
"Why do they switch their Ls and Rs here?"
"Just for yuks. Kinda mix things up a little. They need to laugh,
and we're not entertaining them..."
Cheers,
