Is Sapling, the new SCM/DVCS, getting any traction in the wild?

Question

A month ago Meta launched their SCM (based on their Mercurial fork) with the goal of having a saner UI than Git, improving some Git workflows for some use cases while being full compatible with Git repos. Many people were hoping it could become the Git killer.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33612410Have you been using it? Are companies starting migrating off git to it? Is it getting any traction? Or is it DOA? What have you been observing about it in our industry?

I&rsquo;m not using it, but I&rsquo;m somewhat interested in it. I doubt I&rsquo;ll get to it since Git is so firmly entrenched. Same goes for Pijul.Fossil (the SQLite one) is a little more interesting to me since it seems more portable, given that it contains issues, etc. all in a single DB.

I checked it out but wasn&rsquo;t able to figure out if it supported hooks like pre-commit

Never heard of it, hence, this sounds like astroturfing.

see also, https://github.com/martinvonz/jj which I really have been enjoying wrapping my head around and using. True undo, and no-stage is truly such an amazing experience compared with raw git.
