ruby and python – why all this versioning nonsense?
Read more…: ruby and python – why all this versioning nonsense?I like the ruby and python programming languages because of their simplicity. Sometimes it feels like I’m cheating, with all those built-in functions. But there is one terrible flaw to both of these – versioning.
