Let me start by saying that I appreciate the humour here :) However, in actuality...

Python is from 1991. Python 2 (from 2000) was not a breaking change if I'm skimming the "what's new in python 2.0" correctly. Python 2 was supported until 2020 (29 years).

Autohotkey from 2003 (19 years old now).

Unless AHKv1 is still maintained, Python wins by a decade.

Ahh, I was supposing if AHK had been written in Python, starting in 2003 because that's when AHK started, it would've experienced a breaking change in either 2008 or 2020, when Python 3 came out or when Python 2 ended support.

Either way, yes it was just a cheap attempt at a joke, thank you for seeing it as such! Python pedantry isn't my strong suit, obviously.
