[Gambas-user] Gambas and backward compatibility

Dearest and most esteemed Benoit,

as you know I am an amateur programmer, I am retired and I have a lot of
fun programming with Gambas.

Given these premises, even if your next Gambas will break compatibility
with the old one, for me, playing with the code, nothing changes, on the
contrary I will have new stimuli and new challenges.

But please put yourself in the shoes of someone who uses your beautiful
programming language for work, the craftsman, the merchant, the
professional who, like me (and even more than me), arranges independently
to have a tailor-made product.

Whenever the 'poor man' has to update the distribution do you want to force
him to redo the program from scratch?

There is already the distribution with the new libraries to put them in
difficulty.

I wish you and all users a Happy Easter

Gianluigi
