I assume then that you disqualify Python for the same reason? Python 3.x has decided that breaking changes in minor releases is fine. My favourite: string prefixes (eg s'foo', u'foo') were legal in 2.x, removed in 3.0, added back in 3.3. There are other subtle breakages (eg open() flags). Hating on PHP is a tired cliche at this point.

>Python 3.x has decided that breaking changes in minor releases is fine. My favourite: string prefixes (eg s'foo', u'foo') were legal in 2.x, removed in 3.0, added back in 3.3. Python 3.0 was very much not a minor release, so your example is invalid. The general point that Python does breaking changes in minor releases stands, but they do typically go through a deprecation period first.
