I don't think we're going to convince anyone to replace git on speed alone. I don't spend that much time waiting for git operations, even on really big repositories.

This looks like an interesting design, but I kind of just want to wait 3 years and see if some new VC system emerges victorious rather than try out all these new things

QnA-section start with "Is Oak a git alternative for AI coding agents?" How is that a question left unanswered in the text before.

Is this AI slop or a genuine project?

I don't know, I'm playing around with Jujutsu, Pijul, Sapling etc. They each have their pros and cons.

genuine question: is latency that big of a deal wrt tools for agents? I see this a lot with these AI-native tooling replacement projects, but surely the inference will be orders of magnitudes slower?

we’re on hacker news! this is the right place for the adventurous people to ‘try out all these new things’ so that the new stuff can emerge victorious :P
