That’s an interesting take, “sound” is a very common adjective in theoretical computer science and mathematics. However, I am seriously thinking about a website redesign, more in line with what Pijul has become, the feedback we’ve received. I’m also working on new applications of version control (beyond software), which also prompts for a massive change in how we present the project.
I have to add that neither of us are native English speakers, which is probably why it seems strange, but he said it independently of me. Our native language is different though.
It seems out of place to me also (native English speaker, not reading much about computer theory). “Sound” is often used in terms of mental health: “I, Joe Smith, being of sound mind, do hereby declare…”
It could be for physical health also.
But not so much for software, since you never know what bugs lurk until you find them.

I agree this could cause confusion for non-computer science theorists, so I removed it.
Hello.
I have always found the wording a bit strange. Someone to whom I showed the project even joked about this being related to actual sounds based on
sound theory
being part of the description somewhere. Similarly,The sound distributed version control system
seems a bit odd to me. Perhaps the reason for this is that I rarely seesound
being used as an adjective.In any case, is it the most significant feature of Pijul? Should we only mention that it is
sound
?
