Well, if I must clarify my statement, my point was we sometimes write compilers like we're restricted by 90s limitations and understandings, and we aren't. I'm not rejecting something, simply because it was invented in the 90s, or 80s or 70s (or even before computers existed). Naturally, the way we run systems is as old as the world. We just have faster, smaller and more complicated systems now.
