Same with Delphi. We did decades of applications going from Turbo Pascal in the 80s to Delphi in the 90s and 00s and 10s without hardly any changes (this was possible because I wrote a tooling to convert the DOS Pascal graphics code to Delphi Windows automatically so we ran 1 version of code that compiled on both) right up until the company was sold a couple of years ago.
