That's not fair. Python's 2-to-3 transition is JavaScript's every other Wednesday.
(yes that's a hyperbole, but the churn in the JS ecosystem really is enormous compared to any other programming language).
- azangru 3y agoAt the framework level, maybe (but then, it's userland, anything can happen there). At the fundamental level of the language itself, I don't think so.
- davidjfelix 3y agoI don't think it's hyperbole -- I think the changes are often as large and collectively more significant than 2-to-3, but the ecosystem is better at change. Even with that there are clearly factions and currents in different directions, but things generally work.
