> Everything was invented in the 80s

Classic Mac OS was invented in the 1980s, but modern macOS (and Linux) are based on the fine 1960s design of Unix.

ARM may have been invented in the 1980s, but x86 dates to the 1970s.

C++ and Python may have been invented in the 1980s, but Lisp dates back to the 1950s. ;-)
