Sad that it took C++ almost 40 years to get there.
I was doing C++ development on MS-DOS already in the 90's.
Never cared for C beyond using it in Turbo C 2.0 for MS-DOS, and later when required to use it for university projects and client projects that explicitly required ANSI C89.
So it wasn't 64 KB, but it was perfectly usable on 640 KB systems.
The main problem has always been fighting misconceptions.
