Even after it finished burning a billion lines of python 2 code (largely unnecessarily imho) python 3 seems to retain an unhealthy contempt for backward compatibility. I have had similar experiences where python 3 projects require a particular version of python 3 in order to run.

I like python (and swift for that matter) but I don't like the feeling that I am building on quicksand. Java, C++, and vanilla javascript seem more durable.
