Compare a 1980 compiler with the optimizations GCC and LLVM make.
Or v8 with the best interpreter in 1990.
Or video codecs (almost non existent then). Or cryptography code (immensely improved). Or the capabilities of InDesign compared to a 1990 DTP. Or Photoshop compared to crude editors in the 80s. Or modern GCs versus crude 80s and 90s GCs. Or a modern DAW compared to 1990s midi apps...
