One of the biggest surprises when I started to learn, LANGUAGES ARE STILL BEING UPDATED. ?_? Totally thought that was done and over with, then I come to find language/framework updates can break entire programs. First time learning Rails was when they just upgraded to 4.x and all the tutorials was in 3.x. Now that was a "FUUUUU" moment.

P.S. I thought the pictures was done quite nicely ^.^

Not all languages ignore backward compatibility. There's Fortran code written in the 1960s and C code written in the 1970s that will still compile correctly with today's compilers, even though these languages have evolved continually over the years.
