This might be the worst named project of all time. Not funny and demonstrates an absolutely terrible impulse on the part of the author. Probably the worst way possible to advertise your project.

edit: According to the author in a reply, the double entendre was in fact not intentional.

That's not what the name is based on. The name is cu- (as in CUDA kernels) -q (as in coq/rocq). Pronounced Cuke like cucumber.

I think I must pronounce cucumber differently than you.

I'd expect cuke, if pronounced like cucumber would be queueck or cuck depending on which cu in cucumber you're using.

However I pronounce CUDA koo-da so cuq would be pronounced perhaps like kook.
