In fact, good luck to the developers from 2030 trying to set up their environment for code from 2020... I tried to compile some legacy code for a few extant Symbian OS phones. The IDE and SDK are from 2011. It is a really hard task to get them running and you can forget about the emulator.

Most of our code from the middle of 90s until now works fine though. I guess it depends on the dependencies. I hate dependencies and always have, so we write code in such way that we abstract the barriers enough to not have too many issues over the decades. We have some dependencies on old SDKs but we got them to run on modern Windows / Linux versions without emulation; never needed/used Symbian before so cannot speak to that.
