MIR for Ruby is in no way related to Canonical Mir.
- Andrex 3y agoIt's just weird to me, "Mir" is a pretty unique name, and there's two softwares out there using it.
- deadbeeves 3y agoConsidering it was first the name of a space station, and before that a Russian word, it's not such a unique name.
- taskforcegemini 3y agoalso a german word
- Conscat 3y agoWait till you hear that Rust and Zig's compilers both have their own "MIR".
- thaliaarchi 3y agoAdditionally, LLVM has MIR (Machine IR), which is what Zig's also stands for. There's a lot of M-starting compiler intermediate representations. This Ruby MIR is Medium Internal Representation. Rust's is Mid-level IR. Similarly, there's MLIR, which is usually expanded to Multi-Level Intermediate Representation.
