Original author of serde here. I call it sir-dee, but the current maintainer, dtolnay, calls it sear-day. But we really don't care how people pronounce it. It's really more of a neither / potato thing:

Just wanted to thank you for the great work. Thanks!

I'm not sure about the rust package, but in the hardware world SerDes ("serializer / deserializer") is pronounced "sir-deez."

To me, pronouncing it seer-dee would make sense, because that's how I'd pronounce seer-ialize / dee-serialize. However, for some reason I still pronounce it sir-dee regardless :)

It's abserde to not use only one syllable!

... Sorry, just trying to be funny.

I think it has two, although I wouldn't be confident in telling you what they are. I've always pronounced it sair-day (where sair rhymes with hair).

I would say two, I personally pronounce "de" like in DElaware.
