CanJS makes it easy to make better apps, faster. But, what about making a better CanJS faster?

Two weeks ago, the CanJS core team spent time improving our CanJS dev/test/build/doc infrastructure to make it easier to add new features faster.

Backwards Compatibility

One of the most difficult challenges in making improvements to a library is dealing with breaking changes. We want people using CanJS and to keep using it.

Ryan, Thanks for your patience. I'm not trying to be willfully ignorant, but I'm still not sure what you are trying to say exactly. Twitter is the worst except for everything that's come before it. Let me try to break down your last tweet:

its not for lib authors who want to depend on other libs that aren't UMD or export to everything, that's my entire point.

What is "its"? I'm assuming you were referring to my previous tweet: "interop is possible for lib authors". So you mean:

Interop is not possible for lib authors who want to depend on other libs that:

• are not umd, or
• do not export to everything

	this.name = name;
}
Person.prototype.isPerson = true;

var person = new Person('Smith');

var DOT = function(obj, prop) {
	if( obj.hasOwnProperty(prop) ) {
		return obj[prop];
