After reading the article, the technical merits of `jj` are completely unclear.

Yes, that was not the goal of the post. There's some comments about this in this thread though, here's the first one of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45673808

That line wasn’t even in the original post. It is not nearly the only technical advantage. The point of the post is just not about that topic, so that content is not in the post.

That line _is_ in the post. Search for it. I'm not sure what you're on about.

Wasn’t in the original post. I added it based on feedback in this thread.

This is very funny. People just love jj! There are no conflicts of interest, at least not until now that there is a company built around jj. But they also started it because they love jj!

It would be naive to think the company initiative didn't starte some time ago, before content started being posted even.

And there's still no disclaimer so your point is moot.

The article can be summarized to essentially: I like Rust. jj is written in Rust. Some Rust person loves jj. jj is used at Google.
