v0.10 comes after v0.8(0)? That's like launching Chrome v3 after Chrome v25.

Thus why versions should be stored as strings or several integers, not floats.

So a readable stream is an EventEmitter, but it's not recommended that you actually listen for 'data' events? (Instead you're supposed to call read()?) That seems ... counterintuitive.

Anyone know what you're supposed to do if you have code with multiple listeners for 'data' events?

I agree, if they're doing that, then v0.8 should actually have been v0.08

What if they happen to reach 100 on the minor version, should they've named it "1.008" just in case? And if it reaches 1000?

0.10 != 0.1, in the same way that 0.8 != 0.80

Could you explain that?, because if you're right I been wrong my whole life.

v0.8 < v0.10 < ... < v0.80. God damn math.

It's not meant to be a decimal number. A version number is a sequence of natural numbers ordered lexicographically.

Actually, I prefer the YY.MM format of versioning (like Ubuntu .)
