abstract: >-
  Sounio is a self-hosted programming language for epistemic
  computing. Its Knowledge<T> type carries measurement uncertainty
  through computations, propagated to first order by the GUM rules.
  It also provides linear types, algebraic effects, and physical
  units as types (dimensional checking is partial). The compiler is
  written in Sounio and emits static Linux x86-64 ELF; GPU support is
  limited to PTX emission for named kernel patterns.
