hansvm: Last I tried to run Pijul (IIRC, 2.5yrs ago), there were major, seemingly unresolvable crashes for the simplest of operations on Mac and Linux. Has it gotten better?

alkonaut: What’s the current state of it in terms of stability, performance, features?

jona-f: I tried it a few weeks ago and found it completely unusable. I do not get how they claim to be using it. I tried what I thought was the intended workflow and it's state got corrupted right away without any warnings.

landr0id: I think Pijul has some good ideas, but I’m afraid the network effect of git at this point is too strong.I think jj’s concept of being a front end for many backends and sharing a common UX over them is a good one, but without a pijul backend for existing tools I have a hard time seeing it catch on.
