To be fair, WebForms is 20 years old. It requires .NET Framework, but Microsoft just released another version (4.8.1) of that last year even though they said they were done with 4.8 back in 2019. By the time it's totally dead, companies will have been able to get a quarter of a century out of that tech.

That's outright amazing compared to any of the flash-in-the-pan JS front-end technologies. If you used the original AngularJS, for example, you got 10 or so years, and that's not an entire server-side framework.

Yes, that’s somewhat sensible though that is true for many old tech… how many years have systems running powered by cobol by example?
