I'm trying to help people here. I know some young people may not even be aware of older options and not realize this problem has already been solved repeatedly.

I'm trying to help people here. I know some young people may not even be aware of older options and not realize this problem has already been solved repeatedly. They are free to disregard my advice, so I find your objection more nonsensical
- tempaccount420 2y agoHow does this help though? Why should we stick to old software? Why advocate for inertia?
- Minor49er 2y agoOld software has had use, discussion, support, and resources that are usually still easily available. New software may have to reinvent a lot of wheels, so the barrier to entry may be higher despite the language's features. Choosing one over the other is all dependent on the problem that's being solved
- mlhpdx 2y agoBecause solving new, current problems is more valuable than re-solving old ones? Is the new thing good? Yes. Is the old thing good? Yes. Both can be true. And, there is some value in better solutions to old problems. But if you're looking for "reason" I think that falls on not re-doing the same thing over and over again.
