For certain definitions of the word "compiled" Java is a compiled language. Emacs Lisp is portable to more hardware architectures (anyone emacs has been compiled) and is a compiled langauge (using your definition of compiled) and has been around far longer.
Yeah, but using Emacs as an example of backward compatibility is even funnier than using Windows as an example of backward compatibility.
Generally, you had to wait for about 4 minor releases of emacs after a major version bump until all the main packages started working again.
This has improved in the last couple of major versions, though. -a -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
