Is Piper a wrapper around Perforce or built from scratch? What is it exactly, if you don't mind me asking?

It was built from scratch because it was designed as a replacement for Perforce because Perforce is expensive and the G used wrappers around it, anyways.

The commands are still basically the same as Google's wrappers around Perforce and the learning curve was non-existent for someone who was used to using Perforce at Google.
