uwagar··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
for me atomic commit or was that committing a bunch of files with 1 command was important. and cvs wouldnt let me do it. perforce did. but it was proprietary software, though i think they offered a free version for solo developers or something like that. and when svn came out i jumped ship.

uwagar··on Picol: A Tcl interpreter in 500 lines of code
i like calling a function f without arguments simply as

f # first word in TCL command line is a command

rather than

f ();

if there was also a function called g, i like to do things like

set a f

$a # calls f

so i can now

set a g

$a # calls g

cool i think.
