“Protomatter” was intended as a stand-in name until something better was decided upon, but we’d already moved in by that point.
In CircuitPython, it’s only seen by the sensible name rgbmatrix. But if working with the underlying C code or the Arduino library…sorry, you’re stuck with the awkward-to-type Protomatter name.
It originates in a quote from the character David Marcus in Star Trek III: “I used protomatter in the Genesis matrix.” Hopefully the library doesn’t develop a similar reputation as “unstable” and “dangerously unpredictable.”
