I think the point the author is making is: unless you control all the code you're calling, in a language without immutable datatypes, you can't be sure the other functions don't change your data.

Very neat! It would be cool to see, I'm sure. Anarki hadn't changed too much, but there are some things for sure. Any especially cool features added or changed? Must be cool to work in a language you control.

So we have a git branch v1, and a git branch v2, and sometimes we pull commits into both, and other times just one. How does pijul manage that without using channels?

> However, channels are different from Git branches, and do not serve the same purpose. In Pijul, independent changes commute, which means that in many cases where branches are used in Git, there is no need to create a channel in Pijul.

It's interesting thinking about this. In my career, I would not think nearly anything I've done resembles research. Just pumping out development tasks. The one thing I can think of that was like research was really enjoyable. I sh
