Meanwhile I routinely use Lisp written before I was born (in 1986) that works out of the box in 2018. I’ve used Java packages (recently) from 1999. My company still uses python/pypy 2.7 and we see no compelling reason to upgrade. If there is any sort of upgrade, it will be off of python.

When, oh when will we ever finally unlearn "worse is better?" It's hard enough writing good code without having to fight your tooling (non-orthogonal, non-homoiconic, non-malleable, non-backwards-compatible languages, some with header files propagating changes upwards and breaking user code, and some with fascist type systems causing combinatorial explosions of containers and factories, ugh)
