It's definitely a new start, but both Perl 5 and Perl 6 each have various modules bridging the gap between the two. Yeah, they're definitely separate languages, but (at least in theory) they're very much interoperable.

I don't know much about the Python ecosystem, but my impression is that besides the 2to3 program there wasn't really much of an effort to make them work together.
