Ask HN: Is Sapling, the new SCM/DVCS, getting any traction in the wild?
A month ago Meta launched their SCM (based on their Mercurial fork) with the goal of having a saner UI than Git, improving some Git workflows for some use cases while being full compatible with Git repos. Many people were hoping it could become the Git killer.

Have you been using it? Are companies starting migrating off git to it? Is it getting any traction? Or is it DOA? What have you been observing about it in our industry?
- gjvc 4y agoNever heard of it, hence, this sounds like astroturfing.
- profwalkstr 4y agoNo, not astroturfing. Just hoping we could be closer to the day the git monoculture ends.
- mindcrime 4y agoNever even heard of this before.
- lbhdc 4y agoI find it interesting it isn't self hosted. https://github.com/facebook/sapling https://github.com/facebook/sapling
- ackatz 4y agoI checked it out but wasn’t able to figure out if it supported hooks like pre-commit
- schemescape 4y agoI’m not using it, but I’m somewhat interested in it. I doubt I’ll get to it since Git is so firmly entrenched. Same goes for Pijul. Fossil (the SQLite one) is a little more interesting to me since it seems more portable, given that it contains issues, etc. all in a single DB.
- profwalkstr 4y agoI also investigated Fossil and it's a very interesting VCS, but it seems too opinionated with its workflow though.

- wereallterrrist 4y agosee also, https://github.com/martinvonz/jj https://github.com/martinvonz/jj which I really have been enjoying wrapping my head around and using. True undo, and no-stage is truly such an amazing experience compared with raw git.
- profwalkstr 4y agoVery interesting, I hope it takes off!
