Interview: David Roundy of Darcs Revision Control

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-did-he-say dept.

comforteagle writes "In the aftermath of our last interview with Tom Lord, regardless of personalities, it became apparent that the idea of decentralizing CVS is a big deal. Many mentioned darcs as an alternative to Arch. Mark Stosberg has interviewed project head-hancho David Roundy about darcs, his 'theory of patches,' what's next, and on using Haskell for the project."

    You don't need as many programmers when you have this kind of tool in your hands.

    Wow, that actually sounds really cool! I just be happy if I could get my SourceSafe repository to stop corrupting.
