I was thinking, it'll probably catch on like Omarchy did, except it's written in Rust, so... little chance of it being milkshake-ducked.

But as we say on Hackernews, there are two kinds of people with respect to jj: those who love it, and those who haven't tried it.

Doing the same thing, but with better usability, is immensely valuable. Remember, Hackernews thought Dropbox was "just" ssh+rsync, but they made a billion dollars making that easy.

I’ve tried it. I don’t love it or hate it. It’s more of a “meh”. I can see how it’d be nice if I was disciplined about my commit history, but I tend to be fine with chunky, clunky git. I don’t spend as much time curating perfect commit history as jj fans seem to.
