Coq: The world’s best macro assembler? (2013) [pdf...
It's actually pronounced more like "cock". Coq is the French word for rooster.

In a french accent it's more like "Cuck", that's how I say it in my head. Luckily, I don't have to say it out loud.

I believe it's /ɔ/ in French but usually /ɑ/ in English.

Of course,
cock
is an English word for rooster.
Does
coq
have the same connotation in French, though?

Not at all, but I was told that the pun was totally intentional [citation needed].

Is the filename of "coqasm.pdf" also trying to get at something?

Hrm.... Really makes me uncomfortable to say "I love Coq" conversationally.
