I see a future in jj

I guess I see what the author was trying to convey talking about Rust/Go at the start but I'll admit it confused the hell out of me when we got to Jj (horrible name IMHO but whatever).

Jj is a VCS, it was not at all clear (to me) until I got further and I was very confused as to why we were talking so much about source control (I thought Jj was a language since the article started by talking about Rust/Go).

Apparently Jj can work on/with git repos making it easier to adopt incrementally which is neat and the main point of this post is that the author is leaving Oxide to go work for a new company trying to to create the GitHub of Jj (my understanding at least).

I hope this helps someone else who might be confused like I was.

Thank you for the feedback! I talk about it so much I feel like regular readers of my blog will know this stuff already, but I also don't want to leave out important context for others.

I tried to help fix this in https://github.com/steveklabnik/steveklabnik.com/pull/125/fi..., thanks again!

The full name is Jujutsu, but I think "jj" did come first. "j" is nice because on QWERTY keyboards, not only is it on the home row, it is one of the two keys that has a little tactile marker (bump) on it.

If you're asked why Rust. I believe you are always free to choose.
