> I really, really like that I can, more often than not, take a program I wrote decades ago and it will still run properly.
"Cool kids" languages like Python and Rust really put in the mind of people that a program written two weeks ago must be upgraded to run on the new version of the compiler or interpretor. Meanwhile there always have been languages like C# or C where a codebase from 15 years ago will compile and run just fine.
