Aside: am i crazy for pronouncing clang see-lang in my head?



I've attended 2014 LLVM Developers' Meeting. Everyone there pronounced it as "klang" so that's how I pronounce it as well.


No, you're not crazy. Some people definitely pronounce it C-lang, while others produce a banging sound (klang). I prefer the banging sound ;)


The banging sound is also the one used by the developer team: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2008-July/015629.ht...


Klang is also the German for "Sound"


How else should you pronounce it? (i.e. I do this too, never thought about it before)


> How else should you pronounce it?

The official pronunciation is "klang" with a hard C: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2008-July/015629.ht...

Exactly like the metallic "clang" http://www.thefreedictionary.com/clang which originates from the latin clangere
