I know that evolution needs changes. But I also know that stability
brings trust.
We develop many bindings of our C libraries to Lua. These bindings are
small but they are not that simple. Also they are very stable, and they
need only a few changes or no changes after a new library version.
Recently for every new version of Lua We usually have to write a
completely new binding code because of the Lua C API changes.
Also our many applications are not using the new version of Lua, because
they are written in C and so good working code has to be changed because of
an API change.
Lua code is much simpler to change. But our C code is not. We are still
using Lua 3.2. So...
Isn't there a time for stability ? or Should we re-write our C
code to Lua 4 ? Are we going to re-write it again for Lua 5 and so on ?
Does this make sense?
