Are you thinking of things like Time Cube? Seriously, anything written 30 years ago could still be written today and would still run. Standards are made by first-movers even if what they move is howling junk. Every technology has been immature when first brought to market. What we need to be looking at are the obstacles to maturation, which seem to be increasing.
