New Code Releases – Are We There Yet?

New code languages are being released all the time, promising wonderful new features that were never available on the internet before. These new features are long awaited, and when the code is finally released, we’re itching to get that cool new functionality put onto a website.

If you’ve already heard about cool new features, and the code seems ready to be used, how come we can’t just use it already? First, let me start by explaining the process that new coding languages go through in order to become “stage ready”.
