Hi CL Pros,
I just came across a post on Quora <https://www.quora.com/Where-did-we-go-wrong-Why-didnt-Common-Lisp-fi x-the-world/answer/Robert-Smith-9?srid=dnzK> by Robert Smith where he mentions the idea of assigning some sort of "version" to Common Lisp packages in order to improve code configuration control.
This seems to me to be a pretty neat and interesting idea!
Has anyone of you explored such a concept, or know of anyone that did? Or, is anyone of you curious about it?
It's a very bad idea to do code versioning in the linker/loader in order to load two versions at the same time. Saying it makes code-reuse hard is preposterous. -- Stelian Ionescu a.k.a. fe[nl]ix Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur.
