Your point would have been much better made without the hysterical language
- toastal 3y ago? How should a developer who learned on & is happy with Pijul or Mercurial … or Codeberg, or whatever feel otherwise? There’s an implicit bias in supporting a much narrow band of tools, especially a proprietary one, that gets codified when not starting at something more generic. And if your projects aims to be long-lived it’d be equally myopic to assume Git will remain the most popular tool til the end of time. As noted in a sibling comment, had the project accepted a tarball, then almost any platform—past, preset, & future (assuming filesystems with files & folders are still used)—would be supported. A good example of this is what happens in Nix where the base is a tarball, and all shorthands merely a convenience DSLs that map down to the tarball.
- biorach 3y agoI can't believe you replied after 2 days. And why are you on another rant about tools and support thereof. I was pointing out that your hysterical language was not helping your point. You're not doing yourself any favours here
