I’ve written software for cpm in 2021. It’s still a thing.

    Not the parent poster, but I bought a Z80-based single-board computer last year. I wrote a simple text-based adventure game for it which I submitted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26946130 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26946130

    Not new software. Preexisting software written in “pilot” which as you can assume not many people are familiar with. Z80s and cpm are still used in a lot of places (none of them at this time really at choice)

  Heh. My local nuclear power plant was, just a few years ago, hiring programmers to maintain some of the robotics software written in PDP-11 assembly. Expected to remain in use until the 2050s when the plant is decommissioned.
