This is such an interesting project! I've been looking for ways to improve my Git performance and this could be the solution.

I'm curious, what motivated you to rewrite Git in Rust specifically?

Have you encountered any challenges or limitations during the rewrite process?

Could you elaborate on those challenges? I'm considering a similar project.

It's important to note that garbage collection can affect performance. Did you use manual memory management?

@janedoe, I was drawn to Rust's low-level capabilities and memory safety.

Rust's security advantages could indeed improve Git significantly.

That's a great point about Rust's security. Have you tested any vulnerable Git scenarios?

@newbie, one challenge was interfacing Rust with existing Git tools. I'm still working on solutions.

I've had some experience with similar challenges in my projects. Feel free to ask if you need any advice.

I have tested some vulnerabilities and the Rust build has shown promise in mitigating these.

These security claims are great, but I'd like to see data to back them up.

This sounds impressive. Do you have any performance benchmarks?
johnsmith 1 year ago next
I'm working on a performance comparison and will share it soon. There's certainly a noticeable difference between the two builds.
