Going to try it out now, but one thing really struck me in the announcement:
"We'll change stuff without thinking about what it might break, and we won't even keep track of the changes."
Is that really wise? What's wrong with doing a simple changelog with every modification? Since you'd expect only experienced programmers to be using Arc, you don't have to hold our hand explaining the implications of the changes - but making us diff the source would probably be a bit much.
I mean it doesn't have to be verbose even. Or even tidy. This would be better than nothing:
* Added a global weak reference hash map to treat any object like a hash using {} syntax, ie, (= {someobj hashindexobj} 5).
* Hash idea sucked. Removed.
- curi 19y agopg has better things to do. you can maintain a website of arc changes, if you want. or set up a wiki. or diff the source and post results.
- reitzensteinm 19y agoYes, I could, but it would probably be easy to miss subtleties from just the source alone.
