But at least the python folks provided some tooling to bridge the gap between v2 and v3 such as backporting features from python 3. Also minor version updates generally don't break whole codebases.
Apropos Java backwards compatibility, Microsoft has been pretty good at ensuring strong backwards compatibility with .NET code. I've seen .NET 1.0 source compile and run just fine on .NET 4. Hell I've even witnessed .NET 1.0 binaries run just fine without recompilation in newer .NET environments.
Sure there's breaking differences between .NET Standard and .NET Core but they're two different products and that was made pretty apparent from the get-go.
