breaking changes? hardly.

There is a decently long list of breaking changes now. Removing JavaEE modules from the JDK, and restricting sun.misc.Unsafe, are the ones people usually run into.

These are relatively small-scoped library changes only though.

Meanwhile Go already had a language change, while being less than half its age (loop variable capture).

		A long enough list of small changes eventually equates to a big change. People generally can't update applications from Java 8 or below to a new one without code updates.

Yes, breaking changes. And many ways to do the same thing because the language kept evolving (thankfully).
