I had used jj for only a month before I switched back to git for a particular project at work. I felt that jj was *really* nice, but nothing more.

After returning to vanilla git, I was missing the jj convenience within hours.

also, demonstrating a marked improvement in the experience.

it really does seem like we all gonna be using jj soon enough

I recall pijul.org that was another working prototype of better git

and I wonder how much overlap is there in the way they have made the improvements.

pijul is one of the projects that I’d just sponsor a team for a few years if I was a megacorp or a government research agency because it’s just so damn cool in theory, but has too many rough edges in day to day practice (IOW I’d like to try it but would need pijul colocate for it to make sense)
