There were [some concerns](https://gitter.im/typelevel/cats?at=587eaef0300f220a66fdff2b) around this perhaps being too off-putting for a channel like typelevel/cats and after brief discussion [typelevel/oleg](https://gitter.im/typelevel/oleg) was created.\r\n\r\nThat created another concern which is that the naming of the channel might seem too clique-y and in general can come off as unwelcoming - a sort of typelevel/cool-kids.\r\n\r\nThis issue is to discuss if such an alternate room needs to be created at all, and if so what to name it. Potential names that have come up:\r\n\r\n* general-fp\r\n    * Has naming overlap with existing typelevel/general room\r\n* theory\r\n    * Has unfortunate implication of the (arguably false) theory/practicum dichotomy\r\n* fp"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/typelevel/general/issues/comments/273571513","html_url":"https://github.com/typelevel/general/issues/53#issuecomment-273571513","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/typelevel/general/issues/53","id":273571513,"user":{"login":"djspiewak","id":752,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/752?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak","html_url":"https://github.com/djspiewak","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/djspiewak/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2017-01-18T19:14:26Z","updated_at":"2017-01-18T19:14:26Z","body":"Some relevant discussion markers:\r\n\r\n- The start of the topic in the `general` room: https://gitter.im/typelevel/general?at=587f337fdcb66e4f767a07eb  \r\n- Rob's original concern in `cats`: https://gitter.im/typelevel/cats?at=587eaef0300f220a66fdff2b\r\n- The start of the off-topic discussion in `cats`: https://gitter.im/typelevel/cats?at=587e8eba61e516c157915376\r\n  + Rob's hilarious reaction that unfortunately has lost its meme image link: https://gitter.im/typelevel/cats?at=587e9c5acbcb281770819987\r\n\r\nAnd a relevant meme:\r\n\r\n![take it to Oleg](https://i.imgflip.com/1huky7.jpg)"}}
