As a person with russian background I am laughing on the name of the project. With all the respect to the effort, I can’t take it seriously. The «хули» (direct transliteration to huly) means “what a hell” or actually a bit spicier “what a f@ck”. This phrase is common for russian tradies who don’t bather to know anything but where is the nearest bottle shop and how much time left til the end of work shift. The name reminded me PizData project from the russian speakers. What. A. Joke.

While it may have connotations in specific languages, it doesn't signify quality of the project. Hope we agree on it.

C.f. 'git', which you probably do use and etymologically is obviously a bit rude and humorous too.

This is pretty clearly built by Russians (look at the Github contributors).

Huly is being built by Andrey Platov, who was previously infamously known for Xored from Novosibirsk. It is clearly intentional.

  It is a fucking great name, now that I know that etymology

    Yes!

  Right, then I am not surprised at all. I am looking at his github account now, his status is « твой софт — гавно» (direct translation: « your software — shit»). To me it's a clear message that the author doesn't respect anybody. Also, it seems applicable to potential projects people will build using that Huly tool? I guess my question would be -- how on earth it's possible people trust authors like this and commit into using product built by them?

    A potential knave then. I know I won't use them.

This reminds me of something called Kontool from Germany (IIRC). Hahaha, I already laugh thinking about it. I think it's an accounting tool, but the name has an unfortunate meaning in Indonesian... it means "dick" I guess this kind of things are inevitable... Also, if you see their Twitter account, they clearly are aware of this naming clash and actually embracing it hahaha

I thought about Huli from Silicon Valley TV show, and couldn't but think "Gentlemen, and lady, of the board"

I knew contributor @aplatoff personally, and project name is consistent with his rough and witty character.
