Yeppers. When I worked on a D365 transition we were upgrading from a 1980s era DOS based thing (D3 aka Pick). We literally had like one of the last Pick developers left on earth. He ended up training his two kids on the system so they could take over for him. They all ended up having to learn X++ instead. I wonder which was worse to deal with.
