tl;dr rediscovered a zone I wrote 6 years ago, which reminded me how
awesome zone is https://xenodium.com/emacs-zones-to-lift-you-up

Had never even heard of Zones. Fascinating.

\> hey this is Emacs and pretty much all existing code will run, no
matter how old. In Emacs time, 2016 is practically yesterday!


The best quote as to why I still use some packages and code snippets
that have been abandoned long ago. Especially those I copied from
emacswiki eons ago.

Nice to hear. Probably some of the earlier elisp packages I wrote. Not
the most complex thing but it was really gratifying (and likely
challenging) at the time.

Not quite, the ongoing changes from dynamic extend to lexical scope
will surely break some stuff. In Common Lisp on the other hand. ;)
