Edit: they have some minor text on how it's better, but a more detailed description would be appreciated.

- pygy_ 10y agoNot sure why this was downvoted, it is a legitimate question. https://pijul.org/faq.html#did-you-solve-the-exponential-merge-problem-darcs-has https://pijul.org/faq.html#did-you-solve-the-exponential-mer... answers it, at least partially. There may be a more comprehensive comparison, though.
- adekok 10y agoI looked through the site, and saw some high-level comparisons, but there's not much meat to it. Where Darcs has this: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Understanding_Darcs/Patch_theory https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Understanding_Darcs/Patch_theo... Pijul has some text saying "we're better than Darcs in these areas".
- tupshin 10y agoIt is heavily inspired by Darcs, and is based on an alternative "theory of patches" that reportedly has much better worst-case performance characteristics. It is written in Rust, instead of Haskell, also contributing to better/more predictable performance. The Darcs folks are very aware and supportive of it, and last I heard, Darcs might add support for the Pijul patch format. This is an extremely exciting project. (speaking as a long time Darcs fan and passive onlooker who saw the Pijul presentation at rustconf)
- agumonkey 10y agoI find it very uplifting to see both team exchanging so nicely. Feels like good research and progress.
- kreetx 10y agoIt's supposedly faster, or, has a tolerable performance (I've nevere used Pijul, and never used darcs to the extent that it became slow).
