In the old days we used svn, cvs, rcs or other systems for source code management, that allowed enabling something like svn:keywords. This resulted in certain strings in the source code being replaced by strings containing some version information. More often than we might think these were useful. The question „what version are we running?“ …

On 2019-12-02 I visited the conference reClojure. This was an admirable community effort to create a replacement for ScalaExchange, which simply did not happen because of the bankruptcy of Skillsmatter.
