Ok, so we have a huge problem at the office around the name "Seq" and that is, nobody has any idea of how to pronounce it!

Can we get some help here? It makes it really hard to have a discussion around Seq, and we usually end up just referring to "the logging server".

Thanks :-)

Hey Kristoffer!

This is why developers like me should never be allowed to name things ;-)

To cut a long story short, it's the "Seq" in "Sequence", an abbreviation that sometimes appears in functional programming languages including OCaml and F#. So the "e" is longer than would commonly be pronounced here (like "seek").

Hope this helps!

Nick
