And the real crazy part is that my bad decades-old code still renders fine in today’s latest web browsers! I would be sad if it didn’t, but I also wouldn’t be surprised. How is this stuff still backwards compatible!?
Because there’s no reason for the old stuff to have broken. CSS has grown, not changed. New surface area has been added; none has been taken away.
Keeping a programming language backwards-compatible is more of a challenge. JavaScript has done pretty well in that regard.
