PEG.js development moved to GitHub
David Majda
after some deliberation, I have decided to move PEG.js development
from BitBucket to GitHub. From now on, the source code can be found at
http://github.com/dmajda/pegjs.
While I generally like Mercurial much more than Git, it has poor
support for branches, which can complicate collaborative development a
lot (and no, don't tell me about patch queues -- they are just a hack
with a completely different set of commands). Git also has much more
mindshare than Mercurial -- more people know it and expect it. I also
can't overlook the social aspects of GitHub -- BitBucket seems a dead
city when compared to GitHub.
For these reasons, I traded elegance and pleasant CLI of Mercurial for
much more hackish and unfriendly Git :-) I believe that this pragmatic
decision will benefit PEG.js in the long term.
