There is a chain reaction - new software increases the amount of code, the user has to increase the hardware, as a rule, with a surplus from the requirements of the software. New software is developed for surplus - why optimize if there are so many resources? And at some stage the resource is exhausted, the user buys new hardware.

And if user doesn’t buy it and stays on older versions, then questions of compatibility of formats and scripts begin to arise, it’s necessary to install some incomprehensible garbage to view / play the file, which you either can’t put on the old hardware / OS, or eats up the resource like crazy .

In fact, even in 2022, Microsoft itself is selling the type of β€œmodern” Surface Go laptops that start with 4 GB of RAM. User puts Slack, Discord and other "masterpieces" there and that’s it.

And what you wrote about Hyperlambda is very cool.
