Everyone knows it is good to continue to use the latest libraries/programming language, but what's stopping them?

We know it is good to continue to use the latest libraries/programming language. We enjoy new library features, increase in speed, and other benefits. Everyone knows this, but what's stopping them?

I believe it's due to the lack of tools and integrations.

Interval pull request

Interval _pull request_ is performing automatic, with strategy "Bundler", "David", "Carton" if you set.

One click

What we only do is pressing merge button because this app sends pull request with updating dependencies.

Judgement by human

This is a human job that passes test and confirms diff.

What is Tachikoma.io

Not updating the dependent libraries, does not damage the library/application immediately. When adding a new library that you want to use, occurring a security issue in a library which is already in use, it is extremely difficult to find the right version that functions properly with it. Even if you find the right combination, it's very reactionary and it even gets harder when adding the next one.

Furthermore, sometimes with an older version, you won't be able to enjoy new library features, increase in speed, updated version of Ruby/Node.js/etc., and other benefits.

Ultimately, choosing the latest(stable) combination periodically will keep damages to a minimum.

Everyone knows this, but what's stopping them?

I believe it's due to the lack of tools and integrations. That is where Tachikoma.io comes in.
