Thats demonstrably false. Python was a loud transition, but most of the language warts and syntax is still there. Same as the Php and perl transitions and the wacky es6 or java. The list goes on.

- Supermancho 7y ago>> new, almost identical language, Either it means it's a different language or it's a new language. The ambiguity in interpretation leads to a statement of non-meaningful change (tautology) or a statement of important change. The gracious interpretation is the only thing worth responding to, not quibbling over the possible non-statement.
