Choosing the right dependencies is a craft that needs to be learned. I find myself looking into the ppl. behind libraries more and more. I will always prefer something striped down from a known person in the space to the solution of a newcomer. Hoping between APIs every few years gets old fast.
- a1o 3y agoIn my mind I was specifically thinking of SDL doing the 2 to 3 transition, not really a newcomer. I also experienced this in the WebView transition from Qt4 to Qt5. I also still remember the python 2 to 3 transition in the beginning. There are definitely more cases of a very established library/framework breaking things.

Large breaking changes luckily seem to happen less in the python ecosystem. There is a lot of movement in the dev-tools currently but CPython seems to really focus on gradual improvements - which I appreciate a lot.
