Hey everyone, please stop naming things Mir for a while. Thanks!

    I was thinking of Rust's MIR being missing too: https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html

      > That is, we are introducing a new intermediate representation (IR) of your program that we call MIR: MIR stands for mid-level IR, because the MIR comes between the existing HIR ("high-level IR", roughly an abstract syntax tree) and LLVM (the "low-level" IR). It's so terribly confusing because LLVM itself defines a .mir (Machine IR) that is a syntax between its IR and the backend (which could be thought of as mid-level IR). When I heard about Rust's MIR, I assumed it was some clever way to generate target-dependent IR. The good news is that we now have M(L)IR: the one IR to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

        If anything I expect MLIR to make things more confusing as Rust’s MIR is probably going to be around for the long haul.

    I was thinking of the Soviet Spacestation Mir, probably will tell you my age... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir

      Everyone thinks of the Mir space station first, no?

        Probably most people past their mid 20s, I don't know that many schools teach about it.

        That sounds right, anybody with memory of 2001 when its deorbit was in the news.
