Differences in userbases are definitely part of it.e.g. Ruby is very often used in the whole devops space - where constant forward-change is usual, because of the mindset of "never being done".

Constant change is a thing that doesn't get enough mindshare as well. Not training your team at handling change is probably as bad as not having programmers care about backwards compatibility.

To be quite clear: I think it is very beautiful to have 2 languages in the same space, evolving into different community directions.
