>s that each on their own couldn't compare to more or less monolith language like C/C++ or Java.
Good joke. On C++, Boost. Try to compile older C++ code from 2006 today, it may fail spectacularly.
A lot of older C++ games from 2006 will be damn difficult to compile today.
On Java, heh. Different and incompatible JRE's. Software tied to a single JRE where it crashes on the newer ones.
Should I go on?
Meanwhile, 20 yo Elisp code still runs today as-is.
