Interview: David Roundy of Darcs Revision Control

comforteagle writes "In the aftermath of our last interview with Tom Lord, regardless of personalities, it became apparent that the idea of decentralizing CVS is a big deal. Many mentioned darcs as an alternative to Arch. Mark Stosberg has interviewed project head-hancho David Roundy about darcs, his 'theory of patches,' what's next, and on using Haskell for the project."

Seriously, you might consider giving Haskell a little more respect. This was the language used for not only the first but also second place winner for the ICFP Programming Contest this year.

You don't need as many programmers when you have this kind of tool in your hands.

Wow, that actually sounds really cool! I just be happy if I could get my SourceSafe repository to stop corrupting.
