Can't say anything about perforce as I've never used it, but I'd give my left nut to get Google's Piper instead of git at work :)

Piper's syntax is Perforce syntax.

I moved to Google from Microsoft and back when employee orientation involved going to Mountain View and going into labs to learn the basics, it was amusing to see fresh college hires confused at not-git while I sat down and said "It's Source Depot, I know this!"[1]
