> Elijah Newren, who wrote git's merge-ort (the default merge strategy), reviewed weave and said language-aware content merging is the right approach, that he's been asked about it enough times to be certain there's demand, and that our fallback-to-line-level strategy for unsupported languages is "a very reasonable way to tackle the problem." Taylor Blau from the Git team said he's "really impressed" and connected us with Elijah. The creator of libgit2 starred the repo. Martin von Zweigbergk (creator of jj) has also been excited about the direction.

Are any of these statements public, or is this all private communication?

> We are also working with GitButler team to integrate it as a research feature.

Referring to this discussion, I assume: https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/discussions/12274

Email conversations with Elijah and Taylor are private. Martin commented on our X post that went viral, and suggested a new benchmark design.
