I never like names that require a “pronounced like” note, but cool project regardless.
- simias 7y agoGiven the rather unpredictable nature of English pronunciation that's basically required for any made up word.
- jing 7y agoParticularly since it would not be unreasonable to assume that the "mi" in mimalloc is incorrectly pronounced like the "mi" in Microsoft.
- emmelaich 7y agoCool fact - I'd bet that no one pronounces MySQL like its author does.
- imtringued 7y agoThat's what happens when languages like English adopt the foreign pronunciation of words instead of the English pronunciation. Now everything is an edge case and you can't be sure of the pronunciation even if it's an English word.
