C# and Javascript (mostly thinking of strict mode) fall in this category too

  C/C++ also. It amuses me that GP used Rust as the example for this family. In fact C has an ABI and doesn’t suffer the problem that sibling commenter mentioned.

    C doesn't do much evolution either, must less add generics or introduce new error handling semantics... And C++ just piles up features, supporting everything forever...

      That’s not really true. C++ makes changes after careful analysis. e.g. the repurposing of the auto keyword (which has been present since the days of K&R C!) I’m not a language lawyer, but one would be able to rattle of a long such list.
