Scala has the advantage (and disadvantage) of not caring one lick about backwards compatibility. They were perfectly happy to burn it all to the ground and redo the language's syntax in v3. And even point releases of Scala frequently have breaking changes.

I respect that, but kind of lost patience with it when a new version of the compiler decided that my types were no longer decidable in code that hadn’t been touched for years. I tried for about 5 mins to fix it and then just thought “It’s not me, it’s you” and put scala down never to pick it up again.
