Right, but in engineering it's kind of expected to get support for a version for at least 60 years. Software engineering is just really weird in that it moves so fast and nobody seems to care to break things.

They (in engineering general) aren't expected support something free though. Putting it another way: You can get you support with Python2, if you pay.

What free things are supported for 60 years in engineering applications?
Name one.

Fairly ancient Fortran compiles OK in open source compilers. Not quite 60 years old, yet, but it'll be there soon.

It's already >65 years old. The 65th birthday was this summer 2019.
