Go is much, much better on these terms, although not perfect.
I’d venture a guess that Perl 5 is outstanding here, although it’s been a few years since I tried to run an old Perl project. CPAN was dog slow, but other than that, everything worked first try.
I’d also bet Tcl is nearly perfect on the ‘try this 10 year old repo’ test
It also helps that if some library dependency generated Go code using a tool, the Go source code is checked in and you don’t have to run their tool.
What's been interesting is watching these devs age 10 years, and still mostly decide it's better to start new frameworks rather than treat legacy code as an asset. That feels to me like a generational shift. And I'm not shaking my cane and saying they're wrong -- a modern LLM can parse an API document and get you 95% of the way to your goal most of the time pretty quickly -- but I propose it's truly a cultural difference, and I suspect it won't wash out as people age, just create different benefits and costs.
