⁠Etymology

This project's title comes from two words: box, and inanimate. The idea is that - a box, could be any language specific development environment; whereas the word - inanimate, both applies to the box environment itself, since it is this binary, containerized image - "devoid of life", but inanimate also applies to the process the developer usually has to undergo when first working on a project. The developer has to "breath life" into their Development Environment and animate it in some regard.
