The solution here is to demand support for the most recent specification version from your tooling vendors. We (the OpenAPI TSC) sometimes hear from vendors "we're not moving quickly to support the latest version because our users

Not really true? There are lots of validators supporting the most recent version: https://json-schema.org/tools?query=&sortBy=name&sortOrder=a...

OpenAPI 3.1 replaced the not-a-superset-or-subset of JSON Schema with the actual JSON Schema (latest version) over five years ago. No one should be using 3.0.x anymore. And 3.2 came out a few months ago, containing lots of features that hav

There's a way to express that though: by adding `"unevaluatedProperties": false` underneath your properties list.

This is very sad news. As I said on irc: He brought many people into the community, and encouraged their growth (like me) I popped into the scene by sending a few Moose patches and then coming onto irc displaying an utter lack of understand

Twitter's not fixing the problem -- how can its users? The only logical move is not to play.

Fastly does -- most of its configuration management and distribution is handled by Perl applications, and the VCL templates used for most customer boilerplate is driven by Template Toolkit. I don't want to name names, but a few promine

Comments are supported. There is a "$comment" keyword, and you are free to invent any other keyword you like, as they are generally ignored.

Like which? Or are you just knee-jerking at the term "shiny" and presuming it means "over-complicated and unnecessary"?

They don't have to be real URLs, but just URIs. That is -- the files don't have to be accessable on the network at those URIs -- you can just use these strings as identifiers, and load the files up manually as you need them. In fa

That's so outdated. Everyone knows that words are literal violence now, and the worst offence you can give to someone is not believing in their ideology. It's like we want to emulate the religious right for some reason...

Definitely a non-neutral history, but also nearly a year of intense discussions that would leave even a saint feeling burnt out. The emotional reaction was unwarranted here, but quite understandable.

We haven't really gotten seriously into the discussion yet of what perl 7 will include. All that's happened so far is one person made a premature announcement of what they wanted, (parts of) the community objected, and we backed u

Doh, yes, system 6 was current for quite a while. I wonder what other thing from that era I confused it with. I swear something around that time skipped a 6.

For those that can remember back that far, MacOS also jumped from 5 to 7. (7 was the first version that supported running multiple applications at once.. not counting the MultiFinder hack that came before it by a few years.)
