> doesn't clash with a language that has been around since the 1970s

I don't think 1970 is much of a filter.

That's pretty much the same as saying "doesn't clash with a language since the beginning of time".



To my knowledge, the 70s are mostly not the beginning of time.


In software, it almost is.

It's literally the "beginning" of Unix time, which most systems use.


Yes, I was wondering if I should add "(except timestamps)" where I made my previous post.
