You can keep software up to date without rewriting in another language, which is what Nextcloud did by the way, as it runs perfectly on my box with PHP 7.3.
- ggm 5y agoYes, I get the specific instance isn't a good example. I'm working in a space with code which was written to very old Perl with CPAN, and we've emerged into a state where the CPAN dependencies actually can't be made exactly the same, and the old perl is not workable on the new platform. You're arguing the specific, I'm arguing the generic: it is possible to wind up in a place where your old code won't re-compile, or run.
