I would not extrapolate from a single case. Language makes some minor tweaks, etc. someone gets unlucky and keeps hitting issues in their own codebase and their dependencies, so get rightfully pissed.

Even in allegedly super-stable and backward compatible languages, in a large enough codebase you'll keep hitting issues when you change deps/compiler versions. If I could get $1 every time a C++ package refuses to compile due to some weird compilation issue...
