Backward compatibility with future versions(v5, v6) of Loopback to v4.

Hi All,

Just want to know if there is any plan to make upgrade easy after loopback-next. Like Angular 2+.

As Ryan introduced "deno" recently, How it will impact loopback development. Is there any thing happening inside Strongloop on deno.

Thanks!

The future is hard to foretell in advance, but here is my take:

Yes. LoopBack 4 is a complete rewrite, that's why the upgrade from LB 2.x/3.x is not straightforward.

Future versions of LoopBack should have relatively small breaking changes and thus the upgrades should be much much easier.

We don't have any immediate plans around deno. AFAIK, the project is still in it's infancy and far from being production ready. We will take a closer look at the opportunities provided by deno when it becomes more mature.

Cheers,
