Closure, from Why_ the Lucky Stiff
I'll take this opportunity to link to Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby - https://poignant.guide - one of the most unique and inspiring programming language tutorials you'll ever read.
- Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby
- What are some good free resources to learn Rails?
-
Where to begin learning Ruby
Why's Guide is also pretty fun, but it is definitely a bit non-traditional in terms of programming books: https://poignant.guide/

The best language tutorials that you have seen?
Tutorials? Probably hands down the best was Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby.

Do you have any recommendations?
I assume this is the one you’re talking about https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/
I was curious, went to the end (page 699!) and it’s pretty interesting. But obviously it’s hard to find the important ones.

Microsoft's backwards compatibility is insane
Yes, Raymond Chen describes such fixes in [several blog posts](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/) and in his book The Old New Thing. Check the old posts, back at the beginning. There are posts about to which lengths they went to ensure buggy applications still worked after an update or a fix.
