Go can hardly be called a modern language. The usual argument we hear on HN is that it has an absolutely stellar backwards compatibility story. Are we losing that too?

I'm not sure what this means exactly, but it's a significant advance in simplicity and productivity in my experience. > The usual argument we hear on HN is that it has an absolutely stellar backwards compatibility story. This refers to the compatibility of the language, not necessarily the tooling. Even still, this is a single change, there's no need to panic about losing backwards compatibility just yet.
