Renaming because of this name clash has been suggested but the suggestion wasn't taken up:

- https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/issues/383 - https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf/issues/547

They did do something to ameliate this though: now they refer to the proect as asdf-vm as much as possible, to distinguish it from Common Lisp asdf.

I actively dislike this project even though I've never used it because Common Lisp asdf is a de facto standard that's been around since forever. There's no way you fail to notice the name clash with even a cursory search. They're both software projects and they're both build tools it's scummy behavior in my view to say the least.
