I am possibly very ignorant to realise the value of yet another SCM and I wasnt even sure why being written in C was a feature (or even if it is a single binary). I mean I get why those are good things for the right systems but for an SCM? Sure going over a lot of files and computing hashses and diffs etc - we have lang servers you talk to over some kind of RPC in an IDE - so computing hashes/diffs alone(?) being a reason for C-devel - does it hold water?
Having said that what made me pause to take a second look (pardon the superficiality) was the involvement by Dr Richard Hipp (sqlite). I mean there has gotta be something to it right?
- masukomi 4y agoultra-summary: they had specific needs for SQLite development, and nothing else was addressing them. It was _not_ intended to solve anyone else's problems. It's _probably_ not the right solution for _most_ devs. There's a good high level description by Richard Hipp of why they built it in this interview episode of Corecursive: https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/ https://corecursive.com/066-sqlite-with-richard-hipp/
