>Try that with 20yo code (python,c++ whatever) I regularly compile 35 year old C code. Standards are great like that.

  I fail to compile 1 year old code if I don’t have the exact compiler and library versions that the program required at the time of development.

    You should write better code. Excel breaks between versions silently. One of my first jobs out of university was to build a pipeline of excel spreadsheet to ensure they were run in the version of excel and windows they were created in. You could not guarantee that you would get the same results otherwise. This was a slight problem for the brokerage I was working at since it had lost them a few million dollars recently.
