Today’s software tools have weird names. We call a “library” some collection of functions that you can use in your program.
I think that software repositories (where apt downloads your programs from) should be the actual libraries, since that’s where you go to get your information; Meanwhile individual packages of information should be called books because they are one solid object containing a bundle of information.
Most computer terminology was created by neckbeard engineers in the early 60’s who hadn’t seen a vagina since they came out through one. I’ve been a proponent of updating the nomenclature for easier reading a long time but I’ve come to realize that’s how you end up with PSscript, so here we are.
What does a vagina have to do with libraries…?
There is some overlap (N-ish SFW) but not in the way they intended.
