"*...why don't language developers support the old stuff so users aren't frustrated when they attempt to stay up to date but have legacy stuff they'd like to run....*"
They do. Just not forever, and just not in all cases. There's a point where you would have a rats nest of backward compatibility code in there and you'd spend all your time/money/effort retesting stuff nobody needs/uses any more. And you eventually just need to cut the cord and rip all the old shims out completely or you never have time/labor/ability to do anything new. You don't HAVE to upgrade. You can choose to run an old os and old weewx basically forever, within the limitations and risks of everything therein. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
