Wow! "should be replaced by a new implementation at each new version of Redis"
I hope he at least lets you invoke these commands with a version at least. I'd hate to let a work of art go unappreciated.
- antirez 8y agoYep! That's the idea. If you write LOLWUT version 5 you'll see past versions.
- tmp407ER3DIE 8y agoantirez, typo in the command and in the blog post: Georg Ness -> Georg Nees (per the Wikipedia article at least).
- antirez 8y agoThanks! Fixing.
- QuinnWilton 8y agoI think it's also kind of poetic if the old versions stop being supported entirely. Then each piece of art is a snapshot of the whims of the Redis maintainers at that point in time, without any pretensions as to the art's usefulness.
- antirez 8y agoYes I also think that this would be a more neat artistic project because of the intrinsic one time value of every piece. Currently what the code does is to preserve the ability to run the old versions without giving a direct way to do so, that is, it checks the REDIS_VERSION constant to select what to run.
