Using a fez (or fes, if you prefer) as a logo for a "Fast, Effective, Simple" framework named "Kemal" is kind of unfortunate/ironic. Kemal Ataturk actually abolished the use of the fez [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_Revolution

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.
While Atatürk is likely the most well-known person named Kemal to date, it's a pretty common name, and it means something like "mature" or "complete" [1], which is sort of a good goal to reach, or a quality to advertise, for a framework. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemal_(name)
Check closely the wikipedia list: The name became truly popular only after 1923, when Atatürk established the Republic of Turkey, and it's mostly popular among Turkish people. So, even though Atatürk was not the first person to be named Kemal, he practically "owns" the name today.
It was mainstream even before Ataturk in India/Iran (Fars territory). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Kemal

Compared to the HN darling, Rust. Crystal is hardly active.

It's probably just consequence of some person trying really hard to promote the language these days, rather than a divine intervention.
