    Micron seems like a bad naming choice...maybe it predates the manufacturer?

      It's the abbreviation of Micro Oberon, therefore a quite obvious naming choice; there is no real risk of confusion with commercial offers under this name; it's also a common name in science.

        Wouldn't be surprising if the computer/RAM company had registered the trademark in some countries for the field of software.

          They surely have better things to do than worry about what I call my programming language.

            If they have a trademark they don't defend, they can lose it.

              The word "micron" is a common unit of measurement (μm). The trademark Micron™ only applies to microelectronic hardware, I suppose.

                They also have a Micron trademark for software, as they sell some software packages. So it's really just a question of whether or not they notice and decide to go after you.

                I hope you are correct, but probably continuing the discussion usefully would require doing a trademark search.

              I think we can skip this discussion.
