There may be an even cooler kid in town than all other current version control system (including Git and Darcs): Pijul (https://pijul.com/), "a sound and fast distributed version control system based on a mathematical theory of asynchronous work." It is still open how far the adoption of that system will be in the (nearer) future. But when it does get widespread adoption, it probably is just superior. Not the least, because it is based on a mathematical theory that may be far more rewarding and fun to learn. Maybe Joris is hesitant to switch to Git, because he does not want to spend the time to learn it. And that I would find a very good reason. It is just tedious and boring, and takes a considerable amount of time from a valuable life. That may be completely different with Pijul. The time spent learning may be more of a time spend in enlightening and general insights about the core problem at hand. Contrary to (a lot of) time spent on many details of yet another half-baked solution. However, it remains to be seen how far the adoption will be in the (nearer) future.
