This thread reminds me that there is a huge benefit to using a super common OS+hardware.
In 30 years time it will all be outdated... But emulators will exist and a business process in 2050 that still depended on something I built today could still run with minimal effort or risk.

  If you have the source code it's going to be a lot easier to continue.

    It depends on the gcc/llvm version.
