OTOH PHP managed to migrate 4→5→7, and knew when to back out of v6. JS managed to migrate to ES6.

I think Python's failure is unique. It needlessly broke too much back-compat at once, provided too little benefits to make up for it, and let everyone drag their feet for a decade with the upgrade.

Also guaranteed that there will never be a Python 4 or any way to innovate the language.

"We have nearly endless money and therefore we can make any new feature by treating older versions of our langage as bytecode and write transpilers for it".
