Emacs is probably older than me why should we care about what they used in 80s?

It's 2026, why would anyone want to use an Intel architecture?
Or ARM? It's from the 1980s! So old!

Depends, do you care about UNIX and C, as products from 1970's?
[–] codedokode 14 hours ago
UNIX doesn't exist anymore, and C has lot of negative points (easy to create buffer overflows, integer overflows, use-after-free, and other vulnerabilities).

It surely does, Linux distros, BSDs, Aix, z/UNIX are all alive and well.
Despite all those flaws, people keep writing new software in C every day, go figure.

Then use Redox OS, or convince Torvalds to merge Asterinas' memory handling code into Linux.
