I like your comment. It highlights what misses from so many discussion about languages/tools down here. Being expressive, powerful, compiled, interpreted doesn't matter much if long term stability, reliability, backward compatibility are not a top goal for the devs.

The same was for Delphi, but no one complained in such way. Your sources were to update accordingly, or you simply remained on previous version, which was not a bad thing, because it is your app, it was working yesterday, why would it break tomorrow?

For new projects you took new libraries.

Personally, I don't like the modern idea of autoupdated anything. Once program is tested and deployed, only cherry-picked (or backported) security updates must be applied.
