Julia core is backwards compatible all the way to 1.0, libs not so much.
Now, something as fundamental as numpy dropped support for Python<3.6 in a minor release: https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.19.0-notes.html https://numpy.org/devdocs/release/1.19.0-notes.html
And I've been bitten by relevant python libs breaking stuff even in patch releases.
It happens and it's far from particular to Julia. I just make sure to test stuff property before going to production.
- cookieperson 3y agoPythons breakages have also been security centric. I'm not a big fan of it, but yea Julia isn't 30 yrs old and it's done things like this every minor release without anouncement. To be clear though I'm not talking about a conscious researchable decision to drop support after 5 years. I'm talking about bugs that pop up over night. Anyway has Julia ever been audited for security? Most of the netstack was written by a single person... Makes ya wonder...
