> But I will say this, I've long been thinking that there should at least be a programming language and OS that does its best to not change. A sort of whole environment where every single piece that's out of beta commits to minimal interface changes over time. Fixing security bugs and supporting new emojis, fine. We have to do stuff like that. But everything else is just as frozen as can be. It would be useful for super long term software. If we have buildings still around from 100 years ago we should be able to build for 100 years from now without a team around for constant maintenance. Though I do not think it can ever be maintenance free.
you can fire up QBasic on dosbox just fine
