Molybdenum

Reality is a part of a huge and ambitious Molybdenum project, which is an attempt to create a set of scientific and quasi-scientific libraries Ruby lacks.

The word "molybdenum" is not-so-clever pun¹ on Wolfram Langauge, which is our main inspiration--not in syntax or semantics, but in the set of features that should be available in a single line of code.

¹ Both wolfram and molybdenum are of same class of refractory metals.

Finally, organization's name, "molybdenum-99", relates to Molybdenum-99 isotope, which is very rare and very useful (and also, to the fact that "molybdenum" was taken).
