> language compatibility is preserved

I think that Go and ECMAScript has shown that language compatibility is critical. The language changes that really improve quality of life change the way that you write code in that language, which mean you have to rewrite your existing code to opt-in to them. Small languages changes may not actually be worth the cost of adoption.
