   @reduz the thing is that we could make much more efficient robust and performant applications without reverting all the way back to what it was like to develop applications back then, because the technology to write native applications that aren't bloated as all hell has also advanced.

     Seeing major industry personalities complaining that the software industry is failing because you could open a PC with BeOS /Win 2000 from 2002 with a Pentium II, 64 mb RAM and it was much faster than one PC today with beefier specs misses the point.

     What happened is simply, as hardware became faster, developers flocked to more flexible / easier tools to reduce time and cost.

     Some people forgot how much more complex and costly it was to develop for the cpu / ram / IO specs of early 2000s.
