This thread is supposed to be about getting new users but I hear many
people still digging their heels in on these out dated elements. A 20 year
old website can’t be good. No business would allow this so I don’t see how
it should be different for a compiler. It’s possible new potential users
get to the website and think it’s a joke and leave right then. This is what
people are like in the real word and it should be taken notice of in my
opinion.
