I really wish there was a lot more backwards compatibility built in.
For example an old CAD program called design CAD that I started using in 1995 and it had a language called basic CAD to write code and draw, that same code I wrote in 1995 still works in the latest version it's now taken over by a different company and called design CAD 3D Max.
I haven't purchased it but I tried the trial version.
The same with some of my old Java code. I tested some old code that I had written over a decade ago and once the Imports were changed it ran on the latest jakarta ee 9, because naturally imports needed updated, but the code worked.
So please pass on to the maintainers to put in backwards compatibility as much as possible.
There are a few macros that I would love to use but not compatible.
