Ask HN: Best way to find out when features were added to languages?

• CPython

  1,314 59,531 10.0 Python

  The Python programming language

  

It's going to depend on which programming language you are examining, if that programming language is standardized, and how much of the development process is publicly available (open development process vs. proprietary languages with closed source development).

For Python, it looks like everything is on GitHub:

https://github.com/python/cpython

https://github.com/python/peps

It might take some exploring depending on what you are trying to find (over 100k commits in the git repo), but it looks like it is all there going back to Python 2.0 and earlier.
