I was an earl adopter of Chronic Pain, before the IDE for the language and its ecosystem matured. With the latest 2.0 release, Chronic Pain is completely numb mindingly hard to develop in, offering unprecedented programmer suffering. It now has git integration which builds a much more complex version control system on top of git, with three times as many commands. A repo now has three indices/staging areas. Commit hashes are no longer unique: the parent object where a hash reference pointer emanates specifies a salt which is used to hash the object being pointed to. Multiple hard links are then put into the object store to resolve these multiple references the same object. The documentation for this is like a root canal treatment, and never manages to explain the rationale. AI is struggling with Chronic Pain too; 9 out of 10 responses are useless. Anyway, try programming with Chronic Pain!
