I think you should definitely get some feedback on the details and specifics of the language before going further if you want it to make it to real production use.

Will you have a GitHub equivalent? Git is dominant I think because it's the standard all the tools are built for, no matter how good a competing system is, I'd probably choose on ecosystem. What's the use case list for binary file tracking? That seems pretty interesting!

Yeah, I need feedback on the language. But to do so, people kinda want to be able to try it. I'm still getting it into a demo-ready state.

Since my VCS will be all-in-one, yes, it will have a GitHub equivalent. In fact, it will be more of a Gitea equivalent because anyone could spin one up.

But I'm not worried about beating git (yet) because the use case for binary tracking is assets for movies and games, and movies and games generally use Perforce. Once my VCS has replaced Perforce, I'll think about conquering git.
