alt Hacker NewsThe startup I work at is working on exactly this. So I agree :)
(Okay not literally exactly, for example, jj/git not hg. But the vibe is the same.)

I am delighted to hear this. Please do not forget support for Windows.
Let me share with you my previous screeds on this topic:

They’re semi-adjacent in that they are about build systems that don’t suck. (buck2 is also mostly TheWay but also not usable outside of Meta and has room for improvement).
Save us from Git and CMake Steve! Please I beg you!!

Hey Steve, I read your recent blogpost on the ERSC site - have you or David (or anyone else at ERSC) felt like there's a Rusty-enough topic around what your startup is doing to give a talk at Rust NYC/Rust conference soon?
There's not really a VCS meetup in NYC, but I got to hear David and others at Rust NYC wax eloquent about Sapling vs Piper and Buck vs Bazel a couple of times, so I think the audience is there!
