I like when large projects do that. This gives leeway for sister projects (eg wrappers) to anticipate, room for apps that use it intensively to test things out (release candidate etc), something which has really helped me in the past.

In that specific case I use a Polars wrapper in Elixir (called Explorer) all week long, and I am very happy they are giving us early hints.


I was referring to the "land" verb choice, aka a clear Claudism. In fact looking at it more carefully, the whole post seems to be heavily AI written with minimal human intervention.


Actually, I would say the exact opposite. This post is full of strange and grammatically incorrect phrases, weird paragraph pacing, and unintuitive clauses: that is to say, this reads as very strongly human-written to me, and it is refreshing.


What is your understanding of a Pre-Release then?


Why?


I assume because “land” is a word Claude would choose.


Claude's wording (and knowledge) is based on what competent senior engineers would say.


None of the competent senior engineers I know say "not this, but that" every two sentences.


But what about load-bearing seams that have provenance?


Those are all precise and meaningful words that are very useful in software design.


I really hope I don't have to work with these "competent senior engineers" anytime soon — my codebase couldn't handle it.

On the plus side I would spend all day hearing I am "absolutely right" from a superior being.


It's the only good word here. "Drop" can also mean the opposite and anything else sounds too formal. Don't get me started on "release will release".


Well, they could have written something like "The 2.0 release itself will be in the next few weeks" or "It will be a few weeks before the actual 2.0 release".

(But I agree that "land" is fine here, and the rest of TFA doesn't strike me as obviously AI-written. And I'm not a fan of the "look, they did one thing that AIs often do! Must be AI and therefore bad!" thing in any case.)


"Polars 2.0 will be released (publicly) in the following weeks" sounds far more natural.


Clear Claudism. It wants to "land" everything, everywhere.


release will be [released] in the following weeks
