Who are these tourists?
D will get caught into that edition trap too
All it does is fragment a ecosystem, bloat a source tree and makes maintenance a painful task only to please people who think maintainers should cater to their poor tech hygiene
- daynthelife 3mo agoEditions do not fragment the ecosystem at all. A crate written in rust 2015 can depend on a crate written in rust 2024 and vice versa. There are no forced upgrades. The only maintainers it causes a burden for are the compiler developers (and tech debt within the compiler). But this is pretty much unavoidable if the language is to evolve while remaining backwards compatible -- e.g. it's not like the c++ compiler has a lower rate of tech debt accrual.
