While I agree with what you're saying, that's not the GP's point. They're talking about backwards compatibility, i.e. old code running on new versions. Java has been extraordinarilly good at that (maybe too much so), with the possible exception of Java 9. Try running Java 1.0 code on JDK 17 and it'll probably run fine. Try running Python 2 code on Python 3 and you're generally going to be in for a very rocky ride. |
