What does 'mu' stand for in uWSGI? I see that uWSGI pronounced "mu wiz gee"
. And WSGI means web-server gateway interface. But what about the 'mu' part?
It refers to the letter mu, μ
, which looks like u
if you squint. Since mu is the letter for the SI prefix micro-
, the idea is that uWSGI (or rather, μWSGI) would be a small WSGI.
However, the official documentation or repository for uWSGI don't use the letter mu, nor does the official logo, so I'd pronounce it "You Whiskey".
