But Mercurial itself wasn't (although it was written mostly in Python). I think this is a good example of taking the pragmatic choice (GitHub) over the ideological choice (Bitbucket).
- __alexs 15y agoBitBucket supports Git repositories...
- mryan 15y agoThat's mostly irrelevant. A lot of people are not using Github just because it supports git - the network effect is one of the key drivers in choosing Github.
- __alexs 15y agoCertainly but that wasn't on OPs list of reasons to use it :)
- dalore 15y agoLooks like it was: > Why Git/GitHub, as opposed to Mercurial/Bitbucket or some other system? Because it's very well-made, and it's where the people are. Where the people are would imply because of the social aspects.
