- eropple 8y agoMillion+ line codebases were written entirely in COBOL. The world advances.
- gmfawcett 8y agoSome were, I guess, but hardly all of them. The Linux kernel is built with Make, for example.
- digi_owl 8y agoThere are been several attempts at introducing a new build system, but they have been all shot down over introducing dependencies.
- gaius 8y agoIf it ain't broke don't fix it! How many features could people have implemented or bugs fixed or general progress made instead of obsessing over tooling?
