I looked further, and the situation is not as simple.
https://grammarhow.com/backend-back-end-or-back-end/, for example,
claims that only "back-end" is grammatically correct.
I am now thinking to do the following:
1. Use "backend" in the code symbols
2. Use "back-end" in docstrings and the manual.
Would it make sense?
