<p>its almost impossible for me to tell if this better or worst than git
i read few things about jj, and my conclusion<p><pre><code>   1. its different
   2. very few user would really care about this difference 
</code></pre>
i think git is good (not good enough, good just good, or really good) 
and unlike shells, i cant think of a reason to have mass migration to it<p>people use zsh because apple choose it, and pwsh because microsoft settled on it,
on linux i am sure we can do better than bash, but it good enough and nothing justified replacing it (that being said, all 3 OSes should have settled non nushell)<p>in summary, if we couldnt replace bash on linux, i dont think anyone can replace git, git as an scm tool if far better than bash as a shell</p>

<p>I just noticed this, they dont allow private repos (with few exceptions)<p>I wonder why they dont just offer unlimited private repos for (reasonably) paid accounts , I think maybe a 40 dollar per year (or 4 dollar monthly), is low and encouraging , and should be welcomed by many , I hope they consider it</p>

<p>is there anything (open source) similar to microsoft database project
but that would work for postgresql<p>i like the following about it
    1. database schema is regular code
    2. make schema change declaratively  
    3. packaging (.daspac) and deployement script<p>most open source tools , seem to be after the fact tools, that do diffs 
ms db project, handle the code from the start in a declarative, source code managed way</p>

<p>well, if DDL (data definition language) and DML (data manipulation language), were unified and both operated on relation , manipulating meta data would have been a lot simpler, and more dynamics<p>you can always created data dictionary relation, where you stored the code for table creation, add meta data, and use dynamic sql to execute the DML code stored in the DB, i worked somewhere where they did this ... sort of</p>

<p>well uniformity and homoiconicity are very important 
in an ideal db management system (a.k.a a true rdbms) 
everything should be represent as a relation 
and use the same set of operators to be manipulated<p>separations of types and relations should be limited to core atomic type, string, int , date etc ... (althought date is debatable as is not usually atomic in most cases, and many dbs end up with one more date relations)<p>anyway, always use a table .. when its a choice</p>

<p>+10 for bad windows support, i think this is a key and weirdly underestimated reason<p>just to give an idea how bad, until recently, you could not just go to ocaml.org and download ocaml for windows, you had to either download one for mingw or wsl<p>so for many it was just not installable, i.e. for many we didnt have ocaml for windows, until very very recently</p>
