In future it might be more reliable and faster, maybe with more features. But we probably won't see any effect for 10 years or so.

- tankenmate 1y agoExcept there are far less Rust developers than C developers, so contributions will start to drop as Rust usage expands in git.
- Philpax 1y agoI would safely bet that the pool of C developers willing to work on a C Git going forward is much closer to exhaustion than the pool of Rust developers willing to work on a Rust(-ish) Git.
- veber-alex 1y ago10 years? are they going to contribute 1 line of a code a day or something?
- IshKebab 1y agoWell it would probably take at least 5 years to rewrite all of Git in Rust (git-oxide is 5 years old and far from finished). Then another few years to see novel features, then a year or two to actually get the release. Btw 10 lines of code per day is a typical velocity for full time work, given it's volunteers 1 line per day might not be as crazy as you think.
- 1718627440 1y agoWait, why do we need to convert C Git to Rust, when a Rust fork is already existing?
