In Lazygit Turns Five[0], the author mentions Jujutsu[1], which seems to be an effort to create a Git v2 that addresses some of the awkward edges of the initial implementation. I'm really interested in learning about similar efforts in other domains (i.e. video/audio transcoding, operating systems, programming languages, etc). Specifically, I'm curious about efforts that are roughly [0] https://jesseduffield.com/Lazygit-5-Years-On/

https://qubes-os.org, a reasonably secure operating system.
Smartphones:
Librem 5 running desktop GNU/Linux and desktop apps.

#4https://zed.brimdata.io Reinventing data storage Fully typed, no schemas.
Sounds very similar to a databricks style datalake, except with a custom file format instead of parquet.

#5One of my bucket list items is to bring about a new model of computation, the BitGrid[1]. It's a cross between a systolic array and FPGAs... but it would definitely NOT work as a practical FPGA.
On the other hand, maybe it could bring Exaflop computing to the masses? A million LUTs all working in parallel is a ton of horsepower. And it should only be a bit bigger than a 2 megabyte Static RAM
