Tcl Release Calendar

I just wanted to share this because these kind of well thought out, deliberate, and maybe even slow release schedules make me happy. Especially for programming languages. There are well-supported releases of incompatible versions with a long enough overlap and plenty of advanced notice that people can update and migrate on a schedule that makes sense for them and they can plan for it accordingly. And as a developer, I&#x27;m not constantly having to figure out what&#x27;s suddenly changed and figuring out the new right way of doing things.<p>Maybe my perception of reality isn&#x27;t all that accurate, but it surprises me that so many other popular languages don&#x27;t seem to value this sort of development. Many people don&#x27;t seem to like languages like Tcl or C, but you know exactly what you&#x27;re getting if you use them, and there&#x27;s value there that I appreciate.

A package manager like R&#x27;s package manager or Julia&#x27;s package manager or Pip would be also a good approach.<p>Zig build seems very friendly too.
