For those that didn't look, this is 100% rust.
Seems irrelevant to me. Why do you care about the language choice?
On the positive side: It signifies a certain likelihood of memory and data safety that you won’t get in most other languages.

Jean Baudrillard would call it another level of simulation.

The index is mostly useful to me to split a commit in multiple ones. You do that with a sequence of "git add -p" and "git commit" commands. I am interested in how to do this with jj, because otherwise it looks like a very interesting tool.

Language matters quite a bit to those considering contributing. It also provides some context for expectations about performance and reliability thanks to language idioms, features and culture.
git got the data model really right, and the user space really wrong. The data model is more important than the user space.
This is the first project I've seen which appears to understand and respect /how/ and /why/ the git data model is so elegant.
> It combines features from Git (data model, speed), Mercurial (anonymous branching, simple CLI free from "the index", revsets, powerful history-rewriting), and Pijul/Darcs (first-class conflicts), with features not found in either of them (working-copy-as-a-commit, undo functionality, automatic rebase, safe replication via rsync, Dropbox, or distributed file system). You lost me at "free from the index". The index i…

If you click the link that text points you to (i.e. https://github.com/martinvonz/jj/blob/main/docs/git-comparis... ), there's an explanation there for how to achieve the same workflows. I get that it's different , but I don't think it's worse. I consider myself a (former) git power user (I think I have ~90 patches in Git itself) and I've never missed the index since I switched…
Sign me up!
This looks interesting and I'm glad to see that people are not viewing SCM as a solved issue. While I don't think I'd use this on professional projects yet I'm interested at looking at this for personal projects since I can use the Git back-end and continue to use Github to host my code. I feel like Git has become such a DeFacto standard that nothing is going to replace it any time soon. I've been programming for lon…
I remember that well too (along with Rational Clearcase), and you may totally be right, but git does feel different because it works so well with all sorts of projects, big and small. There were always operations that required hacks. With git that doesn't feel the case to me,perhaps with one exception (but I don't think this is git's fault as much as it's mine for not knowing git well enough to use the tools it provi…
