The first thing you might ask yourself is why did we write The Hammer 3.0 and what is new in comparison to The Hammer 2.0?

## Why did we write The Hammer 3.0?

7 1 Wil van Antwerpen
After a chat between Wil van Antwerpen and Sergey Natarov we found out that we both still used The Hammer for much of our daily programming requirements. This was 13 years after the last release, so apparently it served us well over the time.

Certainly spending a bit of time on working on a more current version is time well invested.
