How do you get blob file writes fast?

I built lix [0] which stores AST’s instead of blobs.

Direct AST writing works for apps that are “ast aware”. And I can confirm, it works great.

But, the all software just writes bytes atm.

The binary -> parse -> diff is too slow.

The parse and diff step need to get out of the hot path. That semi defeats the idea of a VCS that stores ASTs though.

Oh interesting. Checks sound similar to lix validation rules [1].

We were coming from a an application perspective where blocking the users intent is a no-go.

Do you have a link to a discussion where the JJ community is discussing checks?
