N8n raises $180M
It was originally called Nodemation, but the creator thought it was too long, so he shortened it to that, pronounced n-eight-n.

What a stupid naming convention, I'm not surprised it's something coming from the javascript ecosystem. Nodemation would have been perfectly fine.

This doesn’t come from the JavaScript ecosystem. Numeronyms have been in use in the computer industry since before JavaScript existed. “i18n” (“internationalisation”) has been in use since the mid-80s, for instance.
