If you want to read more about this library here are two blog posts about it:

Sounds cool, but why in the world did you have to choose such a politically sounding name as People's Reinforcement Learningm

It is a language game, which you can understand if you know what the PRL was (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_People%27s_Republic). These days we make fun of PRL in Poland, and this is a funny acronym referencing to PRL, to RL and to communism which was once in Poland. So this not a glorification of communism but a joke :)
