I do agree with your overall points but it’s worth noting that Go has been pretty stable in that regard. In fact backwards compatibility is one of the core missions and has lead to various design decisions that have left many wishing Go would break its compatibility promise. But I do agree it still wouldn’t compare against Bash’s multi-decade of consistency.
