Re: The bytestring package has moved to github

Ah.. but you see.. they are trying to make a piece of junk like git useable, and they are using ruby on rails to do it. Now, we all know that Haskell makes you 10x more productive -- so we only need 14.7 employees. We also know that most corporate employees only do 1-2 hours of real work per day. So, that brings us down to 2-4 people who are really working. And, we don't have to be better than github.. just good enough that people don't feel forced to switch. Also, we can cut down on design time by stealing the good ideas from github. Totally doable :) - jeremy On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 2:34 PM, Johan Tibell wrote:

If we invest more heavily in hub.darcs.net then perhaps we wouldn't have to defect to github. Sadly, it will take a lot of effort to bring darcs hub up to match github standards.

To be honest, this will never happen. GitHub has 147 employees (https://github.com/about/team) paid to make GitHub great. Darcs is great in many ways, but we need to move on as a community. Lets not insist on using Darcs when GitHub serves the community better. We want Haskell to succeed (for some definition of succeed), not any particular piece of Haskell software.
