That is because python is a teaching/demonstration language and not really
built for serious work! :-). Pascal was the same way. So they keep changing
it and breaking things to make it “better”. C has been reasonably stable for
a number of years with only a few internal inconsistencies. Personally I like
the fact that Swift was designed specifically to avoid the pitfalls in C and as
a production language.
Less work to skip 0.9 than trying to convince people there was nothing between
0.8.23 and 8.24? That will confuse a lot!
