We do enjoy breaking changes every now and then. :)

Of course, they are never at the level of a Python 3 release.

Yes, but compared to e.g. Scala breaking changes in Java are heaven, thanks :-)

There's a great talk about backwards compatibility in Java by Brian Goetz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y5Pv4yN0b0

Watched, great talk, thanks!

Go is really good about this too. It's great.

It's not as strong as the kernel. Go does not break APIs but may break undocumented behavior.
