I'm one of the authors of Pijul, and the author of that post asked me a few questions when preparing that post, and that is addressed there: https://initialcommit.com/blog/pijul-creator https://initialcommit.com/blog/pijul-creator (see "Why did you choose to write Pijul in Rust?").

You can have plenty of that there: https://pijul.org/manual/theory.html https://pijul.org/manual/theory.html.

I strongly disagree. Explaining the goals of this project isn't always easy, because both large complex projects and complete beginners can benefit from using a rigorous mathematical modeling. I guess this blog post leans more towards the "beginners" side, whereas the "Theory" page linked above would be more appealing to power users. Both are useful and important, they just appeal to different people.
