Isn't the whole point of pseudocode that it's a language-agnostic description of an algorithm? Pseudocode written in the 1970s still stands up -- imagine if a COBOL block had been in its place.

Yes, and up to some point it's fine (like, giving an overall description of the algo)
But today it's more of a crutch than anything else, when you can have
actual code
running.
