Any code you wrote on a React version from 6 years ago will still work the same on that React version today. Let's make that a fair comparison.

I get that some people like stability, but that is quite different from going without updates for 6+ years.

> How much React code you wrote 6-8 years ago will work perfectly and identically with today’s React toolchain?

Today's Elm toolchain is the Elm toolchain of 6 years ago!

Oh yeah, no shade against the language itself. I had fun learning it and using it for some toy development years ago - and the TEA still exists in multiple library implementations. Just wild to see the creator of the language emerge from the fog like that.
