Comment Comment by samuelstros How do you get blob file writes fast?I built lix [0] which stores AST’s instead of blobs.Direct AST writing works for apps that are “ast aware”. And I can confirm, it works great.But, the all software just writes bytes atm.The binary -> parse -> diff is too slow.The parse and diff step need to get out of the hot path. That semi defeats the idea of a VCS that stores ASTs though.[0] https://github.com/opral/lix parent samuelstros 8 months ago
