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.

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

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.
