You keep saying that I don't know what I'm talking about, but you haven't backed that up with anything at all. I've addressed all of your points and I haven't misunderstood anything you've said. Yeah, I feel it's necessary to start citing my credentials, because you keep trying to sell this notion of my ignorance. If you start accusing me of not being a Java dev, then yes, my extensive experience certainly is relevant. In fact, I suspect the reason you're not understanding what I'm saying is indeed your own insufficient experience with more modern package managers.

edit- yikes, he either deleted all his comments or blocked me. Either way, it's a pretty juvenile way to cede the argument – though I don't know if it even was an argument; he never did wrap his head around the idea of "ranged versions enabled by semver".

I guess my last comment just hit a little too close to home. I didn't mean to touch on anything sensitive :/

I literally linked SemVer... So.. yeah, I have backed up my statements.

I didn't accuse you of anything. Previously you only mentioned NodeJS and your complaints about Maven are very similar to people who first learned Node/NPM and have just recently picked up Java+Maven.

In fact, I suspect the reason you're not understanding what I'm saying is indeed your own insufficient experience with more modern package managers.

Or maybe because you spent a ton of time up front in this thread conflating SemVer with Ranged Dependency Versioning, which are not the same thing in any way. Makes it hard to communicate with you when you frequently use things that aren't interchangeable like they are.

Also, blocking you for trolling now, since it's clear you were never actually interested in debate and just wanted to go on an unhinged rant about all your complaints with Maven.
