C# and Javascript (mostly thinking of strict mode) fall in this category too


C/C++ also. It amuses me that GP used Rust as the example for this family.

In fact C has an ABI and doesn’t suffer the problem that sibling commenter mentioned.


C doesn't do much evolution either, must less add generics or introduce new error handling semantics...

And C++ just piles up features, supporting everything forever...


That’s not really true. C++ makes changes after careful analysis. e.g. the repurposing of the auto keyword (which has been present since the days of K&R C!)

I’m not a language lawyer, but one would be able to rattle of a long such list.
