At some future point, there will be a non-alpha version of spec. At that point it is effectively (and likely actually) a different library. Marking this one explicitly as alpha allows it to continue to exist and be in use by alpha users without a breaking change. Non-alpha users can switch to a new library with new namespaces. > I've seen the Spec-ulation Keynote from Rich and this step feels like an > experiment > to try out the idea of encoding the api version of a library in the name > of the library. > Is that correct? > Kind of, but this is a little different in that we're talking about alpha (breaking change possible) vs non-alpha here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
