This also ties back to my earlier comments about how little source code
can be needed these days to produce results that would have been
impressive achievements in an earlier era and with older tools; of how
much more dense and effective newer code and newer tools and libraries
and frameworks can be. The older compilers and older environments are
feeling rather like coding in assembler. Which is part of why you want
to learn newer tools and newer environments, too.
