Hello everyone,
What a time in Opral’s company history!
We are executing the 8-week lix public preview plan fast. You can try out a rudimentary branching in CSV files in this demo. More to come on Dec 16!
On the team front, one person got laid off, and another person decided to quit in October as consequence(s) of the strategy shift and entailed tensions. That’s not ideal, but OK. Opral will become successful if the value of knowing what has changed is high. As long as that equation holds true, no matter how smooth or bumpy the ride is, we will face success.
That’s it for October.
Ever wondered what engineering problems we need to solve for lix? Here is a peek into the development of lix from October 2024: “How to make branching cheap?”
branch-change pointers need to be de-duplicated
chunking pointers seems to be the way to go
mutability should be preserved for fast change creation within a branch
