> In some languages (e.g: Lua, Python) the designers are ready to break backwards compatibility. C++ chose not too. There are still quite a few Python 2 codebases that will never migrate to Python 3, and quite a few developers who still use Python 2 for new projects. Anecdotally, several Python developers I know would rather rewrite their Python 2 programs in another language than put in the work to move to Python 3. A lot of them seem to be considering Go and Rust. The way the Python 2 to 3 change was handled was a huge mistake.
