What the Experts Say
Experts in the field are excited about Lore’s potential to challenge Perforce’s dominance in game development.
For context, since a lot of people on HN haven’t worked on games – this is not intended to compete with Git for general software development. This is a competitor with Perforce for game development.
Others appreciate Lore’s improved user interface compared to Git.
I know all of these things communicate something to the die-hard Git user, but for most people (even most people using Git, I bet) this is just complete gobbledegook.
Game Development Support
Lore is expected to have first-class support for Unreal game development, which could make it a popular choice for game developers.
This is a very promising announcement for Unreal game development specifically. For any other purpose I wouldn’t care as much.
