How do you pronounce ghcup?

#1

After an hiatus of 5 years, I am returning to teaching Haskell to undergraduate students. For that I am having to update my experience with the development tools, as I have not been using Haskell in this period.

One new kid in the block for me is ghcup, which I have just found is one of the recommended ways of installing Haskell nowadays.

I would like to know how do you pronounce ghcup when talking about it.

GHC up, or fully “spelled out”: gee-age-sea up

GHC cup? Totally wrong, but makes me think of a cup full of lambdas.

I think it’s inspired by the cross-platform install rustup for Rust which presumably is pronounced “rust up”, so:

Or a competition: “…and the the 37th annual Glasgow Haskell Cup is underway!” :-D

I spell it out in English, even while speaking another language (which is not the case of GHC :P)

#6

I say pronounce it as Jee-Haych-See Up
