Actually the standardization of C sparked huge debates in the
early 90's. There were lots of minor changes and one big style change
that really polarised opinions. In traditional C you defined a functions
parameters like
int foo()
int a;
float b;
{ /* body here */ }
in ANSI that changed to:
inf foo(int a, float b)
{ // body here }
The changes from Python 2 to Python 3 have been a model of harmony in
comparison, and they are the biggest changes in Python's 20 year history.
