Honestly I'm happy to see that they're gonna slow down a little bit. You need a certain stability for the language to become more attractive. Think that the book "Elixir 1.6" was only released a few months ago, and today we're already getting Elixir 1.9.
Yes, of course 99% of the book is probably still relevant and all, but I believe it is important to brand a language as having reached maturity and stability.
- brightball 7y agoFWIW, the new books they are releasing for Elixir and Phoenix are both titled "Programming Phoenix >= 1.4" and "Programming Elixir >= 1.6" That they are willing to put that in a primary book title is pretty bold.
- josevalim 7y agoBy the metric above, which is release numbers, we won't slow down because we will continue with two releases per year (this is our frequency since v1.2/v1.3). :) However, in terms of new features, we have already been slowing down over the last releases.
