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.
