Re: [Haskell-cafe] Fwd: Fwd: Compatibility etiquette for apps, with cabal sandboxes and `stack`

Well let's think of books vs tweets. Books: take longer to write are written to last for at least a couple years are expected to be read by a number of readers, over time are planned are structured / organized cover a few topics in depth are reviewed are proof read some books become out of date may contain errata There are different editions. There is usually time span between them. Sometimes authors change title between editions. There are different books about similar topics. Tweets are in several ways just the opposite of books. I like to think of software libraries as books. Good libraries are like hardcover editions.
