  "content":"<p>It's amazing what will still compile and run. Consider <a href=\"https://github.com/toddsundsted/stunt\">this old project I maintained for a while, a while ago</a>&mdash;it still has at least <a href=\"https://github.com/toddsundsted/stunt/blob/master/regexpr.c\">one file of pre-ANSI C</a> (with the K&amp;R style function definitions) alongside a bunch of C and C++ that compiles under C++14.</p><p>The story is that this actually runs a service that I needed to migrate from an old CentOS server to a new Ubuntu server. Despite it being a 30+ year old project, and my not having touched my fork in ~5-6 years, it all just compiled and <a href=\"https://stunt.io/\">ran</a> (specifically <code>configure &amp;&amp; make</code> resulted in a working binary on the new server). I can't think of any other piece of software I use that I have that kind of confidence in just working!</p><p><a href=\"https://epiktistes.com/tags/stunt\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#stunt</a> <a href=\"https://epiktistes.com/tags/lambdamoo\" class=\"hashtag\" rel=\"tag\">#lambdamoo</a></p>",
