I'm experimenting with jj this weekend. It seems pretty nice so far, but the mental model is pretty different from git. For example, there's no `checkout` command. You do `jj new ABC` to switch to a commit, which creates a new empty commit on top of ABC.

When writing long-lived programs (daemons etc) in Rust, I find myself asking *where* I should put data. In a GC'd language it's just "I have a string" but Rust forces me to find somewhere to put it. You do get a performance benefit for this work though.

If you created a large, successful OSS project, would you want to be BDFL or move on after a period? I see tradeoffs on both sides, although it's not a decision I've needed to make myself.
