It's nowhere near as much as those languages but it's also nowhere near as seamless as it was for prior versions. Non-trivial applications and libraries do break going from 8 to 8+ (usually on the way to 9 but sometimes 11 as well). This is in contrast to the legendary backwards compatibility of 1.4 to 1.5 to 6 to 7 to 8.
