>So your comment is rude. It's fine to move on and work in other languages, as I have, but to not be able to even show 80% of your portfolio because it was intentionally crippled by the company you rented the software from that you used to make it, isn't something you can move on from. It's been disastrous.

It's no different than what happened when the C64 when the way of the dodo

Or folks who built stuff for DOS, and never updated to Windows

Technology moves on

Languages and platforms get deprecated and/or die

And if "80% of your portfolio" is on a now-dead platform, I'd say it speaks more to you not wanting to do something new than that you happened to build a bunch of stuff on something now dead

I get that it sucks that stuff drops out of support/manufacture/etc

But it happens

You can be sour about it, or realize it's the nature of life, and move ahead :)
