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.

There is a reason they renamed Coq to Rocq.

Yeah, and look how well that went: https://rocq-prover.org/platform

When you go to the downloads, it is actually Coq again. It was a ridiculous name, yes, but that name change is even more ridiculous. Most people are still calling it Coq, past research papers are calling it Coq, and Prince is still Prince and not the symbol.
