If you want to write a random program that you don't plan to support but want to remain usable, Java is your best bet.
I've on multiple occasions recently used really random Java GUIs that are from the 2000s (Melee related). It sometimes took some finagling (iirc I had to use Java 8 or something .. luckily it was just a nix-shell away!)
