   @grainloom @enkiv2 @jamey Imagine dealing with two different versions in different projects. If luarocks installs everything in the same place, the lastest version will overwrite the older one and the project that uses the older library could have issues.

   That happens quite often, that's why npm-s approach is not bad in that sense.

     @ekaitz_zarraga @grainloom @enkiv2 @jamey
     Right. If I can't get away with eliminating a dependency & therefore breaking changes are unavoidable, I will usually write a polyfill to make both versions operate the same way (or close enough that my code doesn't care). Most devs don't do that, but I also don't run software written by most devs so it doesn't matter.
