Go until 1.3 supported all the way back to Windows 2000. I was pretty sad when they yanked support, the idea of becoming a hermit running Win2k writing Go is an oddly satisfying fantasy.

go is one of the rare language i can imagine using on a 20+ yo hardware / software stack. The whole go tooling is so much focused on simple and performant design that i think it wouldn't be too bad of an experience.

Until very recently the default linker for D on 32 bit Windows dated back to the 80s.

You could nearly get D code working for a 16 bit computer due to the history of the dmd backend, even.

Go is a wonderful language, what are you talking about

Cloud native language of choice for a reason ;)
