Show HN: Cuq – Formal Verification of Rust GPU Kernels

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, because people are overly sensitive and can't bear the thought that someone might make some harmless naughty jokes. It's a completely ridiculous name change.

One of my coworkers uses Siri to say what they want to search for. I'm definitely not saying: "Hey, Siri, show me examples of using Coq."

Then, users of search engines will add "training," "in the workplace," "visual guide," "positions," "freelance work with," etc. Everything people use with programming languages or book titles becomes inappropriate with that name.

Maybe if I worked on a chicken farm it would be OK. I'm in the hotel and retail industries doing a mix of hands-on work and customer service. You'll never hear me tell my bosses I was using that on the job. Or spending hours alone with Isabelle for that matter. HOL4 & HOL Light it is!
