There are two types of programming language - and it's not "high level" 
vs "low level" or "interpreted" vs "compiled".

It's languages that build on previous versions while maintaining 
backwards compatibility with them, and languages that make you rewrite 
your shit with every upgrade.

Why don't we have neat terms for these as we do with things like high 
level, low level, etc.?
