Oh - OK. Then you aren't expected to care about the long term consequences.

OK, but what was that about things like ruby and java? (Java being more or less OK now...). If you don't use/need software from this decade, then maybe it isn't a big issue for you either way.

"This decade"? Oh, come *on* Mike, be real. Just because the languages they use are changing continually doesn't mean that a *language* compiler or interpreter a couple-three years old shouldn't work.

The flip side of that is that you are ignoring thousands (millions?) of man-hours of development work in improvements that could be yours for free.
