You can, for example, use C++, which is a stable standard (a new version was
published 2 years ago, but almost all C++98 code compiles unchanged as
C++11), and Qt, which keeps a stable API and ABI throughout a major version
(the interval between the last 2 major versions having been over 7 years),
and we keep old major versions available in a clean way.
And the GNOME people would probably recommend their C + g* stack which
satisfies similar compatibility properties.
