Is forward compatibility really needed/required? Java developers would
not mind, if the classfiles they produce cannot be used with an older
JRE. Are we really heading for forward compatibility? Is that really a
requirement when the binaries to build do not adhere to that as well? Is
there any programming language/platform out there applying forward
compatibility? My knowledge of different programming eco systems is
limited, of course. You cannot pass more recent XYZ sourcecode to less
recent XYZ compilers in any programming language I know of, however. Can
you give an example of a programming language/system where this is
wanted/required/supported?
