There have been breaking API changes--.NET Core and the upcoming .NET 5 being good examples--but they're generally handled well. I can't recall any major breaking language changes, though.

They don't let backwards compatibility keep them from introducing new features and syntaxes, which is quite nice. Most languages that want to avoid breaking backwards compatibility seem too hesitant to introduce new language features.

That's why I was referring to C#, not .NET.
