It's like saying the only chance you have of avoiding python is to use something else. > never interact with basically any other open source. You don't need git knowledge to download an open source library from GitHub (there's tarballs on the web page), or to use your languages package manager, even if it speaks git under the hood (go get/npm) > I just don't see the dominance of git changing for the next decade, The dominance of git is real particularly in certain industries, but even now git still has terrible support for huge repositories and binary files, partial checkouts, submodules. The problem is that most projects are suited just fine to the limitations of git, (and SVN and p4 and hg), so the value comes in the supporting tooling and infrastructure. Why would I choose fossil over git when for free I can get everything that GitHub/gitlab provides for me?
