Sapling has basically combined Mercurial’s UI/UX, and added several more nice features on top, and added Git as a backend (ie, you can use sapling to seamlessly contribute to git projects) - https://sapling-scm.com/

“PHP-like but incompatible” isn’t in itself a useful feature — it is the thing which unlocks a bunch of useful features (a sensible standard library, sensible list/dict datatypes, typed collections, XHP, async functions, generics)

Given that they’re both open source and can be customised using turing-complete languages, the only limit to possibilities is how much effort you’re willing to put into customising them. Even CVS has the possibility of working as a dist

Nothing is perfect, but some things are clearly better than others - hence why we’re nearly-all using git rather than "learning and familiarising ourselves" with CVS :)

PHP has some benefits to its design that the vast majority of other languages don’t — deployment is as simple as “stick a .php file on in your website folder”, hitting the “refresh” button gets you the latest code with no “build” or “restar
