While I can certainly agree that Python is best when you're not really computing anything with it but rather using it to glue libraries together written in better languages, I would still rather use Git than Mercurial. I also think it was a mistake on the Git maintainers part to not work with Facebook. However, I have a possibly non sequitur question for anyone that might know, what the hell does Facebook do that they have more code than the Linux kernel?

@GeorgeMixalis That's certainly a possibility. And if it is just down to code bloat, then the monorepo is a bad idea because they should probably be paring their codebase down a lot instead.

@randymccoy8097 The problem I'm having with it is, what does Facebook as a company do that in a single repo they would have more source than Linux. I would think that a social media company wouldn't require that much code for even the backend of their website. It feels very much like corporate bloat, and that's the only way it can make any sense to me.
