Changes to the git protocol happen at a glacial pace. Keeping up with them will not be a problem. The only users of the C daemon that would benefit from egitd are our competitors. We've open sourced our Ruby git library since that has benefit to the community as a whole. I'd hardly call our decision to write an Erlang git server antisocial. As far as I can tell, it's not hurting anyone.
- jrockway 18y agoI didn't realize you weren't releasing egitd. If you're keeping it to yourself, it doesn't really matter what it does or what language it's written in.
- ionfish 18y agoSurely it matters insofar as people find it interesting to hear about, even if they might prefer to actually see the code.
- mojombo 18y agoHere's a piece of it that we did opensource. An Erlang pipe implementation. It acts as a FIFO for binaries. http://github.com/mojombo/erlang_pipe/tree/master/pipe.erl http://github.com/mojombo/erlang_pipe/tree/master/pipe.erl The performance ends up being quite good.

- mojombo 18y agoThe comparison operator that returns -1, 0, or 1 depending on how the operands compare is often represented as <=> and commonly referred to as the "spaceship operator" because it looks like a flying saucer viewed from the side. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_operator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_operator
- jfarmer 18y agoHuh. I never heard it called that before. My background is in math so I always though of it in terms of the sign function: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sign_function spaceship(x,y) = sign(x-y), for numbers, anyhow.
- jrockway 18y agoFWIW, Larry Wall calls it the Spaceship Operator in "Programming Perl".
