The perfect tool for coming up with a name for your latest project.

fav is a command-line utility that generates all possible combinations of the string 'aaa' and outputs all 17,576 possible combinations of the word. Using fav, you can scan through the output looking for a word vaguely similar to a word in the English language and once you've found it, then you've found the name of your latest project.

After failing to come up with a name for my new project, I decided to look for a trend in the names of successful projects in the past. Soon enough I realized that project names like git, yum etc. were short, easy to remember, and weren't words that we used too often in the world of computing. Thus, fav was born (and named using itself).

Simply compile the project that consists of 1 C source file using one of the many C/C++ compilers available then run the output.

If you find fav useless, then a bonus feature is available. With the -r switch, you can output the combinations recursively creating a matrix-like window.
