50% of Java developers are still regularly working in Java 8 [0], which is the same solution that the author could have arrived at immediately—when starting up an old project after 4 years, use the same version you ran last time, don't try to update before you even have the thing running.

> C, C++

Not my experience, but maybe it depends on your operating system and distro? In my experience sorting through the C libs and versions that you need to install on your system to build a new project can easily take a few hours.
