Just me or does sit well to monetize _mostly_ off the core benefits of an open source application? Can't be easy to build a GUI on top, but I'm sure a 10% revenue to be redistributed to the hero behind jj would go a long way. Would also pay off.

Re: VisualJJ – Jujutsu in Visual Studio Code
#12I worked with JJ for half a year, and it was great. However, I've since decided to go back to GIT because of compatibility with existing workflows and AI tools. Pre-commit hooks are not possible [yet?], which is a minor inconvenience. Worse, workspaces/worktrees use a different mechanism. This causes like Claude Desktop (which uses worktrees) to break. Also Claude and other agents are always confused about JJ and fal…

Seeing similar comments across different articles and technologies and it makes me wonder how much AI is going to hold back the adoption of new technologies going forward.
For this reason, programming languages, at least how we understand them today, have reached a terminal state. I could easily make a new language now, especially with the help of Claude Code et al, but there would never be any reason for any other engineer to use it.

There is nothing about neither the licensing of jj or the spirit of open source that stigmatizes this.

#20It does look nice, I'll give it a go. Just wanted to say that "Git-out-of-the-way source control" is the best tiny description of JJ I've ever seen, because it's both true and the pun works perfectly. It brought me joy.
it is worth noting that Jujutsu uses Git’s storage, networking, and ecosystem.
