etymology / musings

aynse is a portmanteau of "ayn" from miss ayn rand and "nse" from national stock exchange. ayn rand was a russian-american writer and philosopher known for her philosophy of objectivism, which emphasizes individualism and rational self-interest and among other things, she was a strong advocate for laissez-faire capitalism. the name serves as a fun ironical reminder of the library's purpose: to provide a tool for individuals to access and analyze financial data independently, without relying on large institutions or complex systems. in a cruel twist of fate, this open source library wouldn't be encouraged under ayn rand's philosophy, as she discouraged altruism and believed in the pursuit of one's own happiness as the highest moral purpose. and as the final act of irony, we gather to use this library to analyze financial markets while generating zero (and possibly, negative) intrinsic value for humans or human kind as a whole - this is capitalism.
