There is Pijul hosting called Nest , similar to Darcs Hub. I was never a big Darcs user but was interested in the "theory of patches". From what I can gather, Pijul has implemented this mathematical theory with good algorithmic complexity. It's written in Rust which might make it less appealing to previous Darcs users. I was wondering what folks thought of it? Cheers, Steve. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
