Out of curiosity, why a whole new attempt? Personally, I'd prefer the approach of "making our current tools better."

"Let a thousand flowers bloom." Competition helps both sides. Clang became good enough that it spurred GCC to become a lot better.

Until 1997, forking a project was considered a tragedy. I think things have improved since then :-).

Fair point.

What are your thoughts on Pijul? (https://pijul.org)

[madgar]

I'd love to dig into Pijul but sadly it's AGPL. Just looking at the code effectively taints me as a developer who works tangentially to VCS - it could be argued that my work is derivative and thus needs to be AGPLed. The viral nature of the license then creates an existential legal risk to my employer.
