Was it "Fluchtpunkt Lisp" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45838440-fluchtpunkt-lis...)? I tried searching for it, but this is probably the closest I've seen.

Indeed. The submission's title should then be changed perhaps to "Bato - the Ruby programming language in Filipino/Tagalog," or perhaps "Bato - Ruby made Filipino/Tagalog."

Until you start hankering for "rebase" or any other history-altering commands. However, if you don't generally use them, Fossil should be able to suit your VCS needs well enough.

There is, if you use an RSS reader. There are feeds associated with each tag. Try clicking any tag, and you should see a link where you can get an RSS feed of all the new questions that come in for that tag.
It's been there for a long time. ;-)

It also makes sense, I think, considering that Git consists of small tools interacting with each other, while Hg is written as a whole application/system by itself, which can then be extended as needed.

Thanks for this. I've seen the "CONS should not CONS" paper somewhere, but skimming over it never really got me anywhere even close to this explanation. I always thought it was some in-jokey reference to US politics, but I couldn't connect the MTA concept.

If you means something that searches for files within any directory, I think the best so far I've used was Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/). Lightweight, fast, and really simple UI.
I'm still looking for a Linux equivalent (I'm currently using a shell wrapper for `ag --depth 0 -g <pattern> <directory>`.)

Are there really more? Some similar projects like Monotone and Bazaar are no longer being actively/regularly developed IIRC, and the number of hosting services for something as well-known as Mercurial has been dwindling.

Mercurial has a 'rollback' command, which they've marked as deprecated a few months (years?) ago, but you can still use it when you reach a tight spot.

I might be wrong, but Hipp does accept patches in a different way. On the Fossil SCM mailing list, I've seen him (and other contributors who have commit access) get patches from users and incorporate them into the project.
They do mention the user who contributed the patch instead of actually assigning the commit to him, though. Does that count somehow?

I really wish I could play DF, but even as someone who occasionally dabbles with playing roguelikes, I can never get into it. DF looks completely daunting to me at the outset.
I do admire the game's lovely intro sequence, though.
