What comes after Git? or, Building a cloud-native version control system in F#
summary
A new cloud-native VCS called Grace is built in F# on a Dapr-backed web API where a background agent Grace watch uploads every save to object storage, creates directory-sha roots, and keeps transient saves by default for seven days. Commands are checkpoint/commit/promote and the system auto-rebases teammates within seconds on promotions; projection services and SignalR actors enable real-time conflict notices. Prototype CLI and demo show one-to-two-second perceived latency; it is tested on 100k files and 15k directories and 10 GB blobs and currently functions as an early alpha.
