If they did, by definition whatever we had today would look like the computers we have today. Hth.

bell labs would look @ the code and say gorsh, we need a computer 10x the size to have the memory to run this & the hardware races would be reset from that point so your computer today would be as big as a fridge

they consider for about two seconds the merits of a language whose runtime requires more ram than all computers in the world combined currently have. they laugh heartily at a language designed to solve thread safety and parallel processing issues in a world where every computer has one CPU and multithreaded operating systems haven't been invented yet.

they get really depressed at how bad things will become, and decide to quit and become farmers and craftsmen before its too late. the internet is never invented. the world of 2017 is a wonderful place of kindness and loving

this is like asking if you took the source code, audio, and art assets for Doom 2016, and used a time machine to give them to id Software in 1993, what would happen? the answer is nothing. nothing would happen, because no computer at the time could run it, or even compile it.

can you imagine garbage collection on a system with 4 kilobytes of RAM and a 64 kilobyte address space? hope you got some swap space on that 1MB tire-sized hard disk drive.
