Upgrading a programming language with breaking changes is hard.

Ask the PERL and PHP communities how hard it is. PHP 6 ended up getting dumpstered and the “next” version of PERL was so different they had to change the name and the community never really recovered. Python has at least grown/ survived through the upgrade.
