My java apps from uni days still work on windows and non-arm macs. With a little tweaking for opengl links, arm works too.
My old uni android apps still work on android last i checked. With a recompilation my ios apps work on ios too.
However, with absolutely zero work, ALL of my web stuff across all time works just like it used to even the angular 1 stuff.
It is why i love web so much. It is the ultimate distribution platform with so little needless churn.
- tossandthrow 1y agoCan you still build your old projects? The ones developed using node6? I do not agree on this statement at all.
- rustystump 1y agoNode6? You know js doesnt need node to build right? First stuff primary non-node based bundlers and script tags to libraries. I know old school.
- tossandthrow 1y agoAnd yet some bundles did / do run on node. Regardless, the fragmentation you emphasize here is yet another issue why you'd probably have issue building a 10 year old project.
- rustystump 1y agoWeird, i just ran an old gulp based bundled project using bun without issues. I think there are problems with web tooling fragmentation but this argument sounds contrived as an attack the web platform. Js code from 10+ years ago runs without modification today which was the point. Tooling changes over time ofc.
- tossandthrow 1y agoOh boy, do inhave a lot of projects I want your magic fingers to build for me since you will never have any issue just doing it on bun!
- SomeUserName432 1y agoNVM is great, as long as the packages still exists, you can just switch to node6 for this one build.
