A pure JavaScript implementation of Git for Node and browsers
I think it's interesting how there's two phenomena that seem to be related to me that get posted here and seem to get treated with different responses.<p>One the one hand, we have software originally written in C/C++ being rewritten in Rust (not often, sometimes just conceptualized), and there's often a real push back by <i>some</i> people about how it's a waste and not useful.<p>On the other, we have software rewritten in Javascript, which people are generally very accepting of, even if they don't plan to use it.<p>I understand the goals of these are often different, and the benefits are also often different, and they have a different set of use cases, but the reception seems markedly different (at least in tone).<p>I'm not necessarily trying to imply that means anything, it's just something that struck me while noting we now have Git implemented in JS.
