I think only languages which are still in beta have that kind of back compatibility. If a language breaks compatibility every two years (roughly Debian’s release schedule), it’s a toy, not a tool.

Go does not break compatibility every 2 years. I'm referring to Go fixing bugs in the language or standard runtime.
