25 years ago phones still had cords. Infact, C# itself is only just barely 19 or 20 years old at best. I know I felt like everything that came before me was ancient when I was young, but a decade is a long time in tech so i just felt the need to point out that if you had a codebase for a phone from 25 years ago if it was not written directly in assembly, it would have been running a very slim java version called Java ME (Micro Edition) for feature phones which was all the rage before android, or if you were unlucky you would be dealing with BREW which was a SDK for c/cpp development on feature handsets.

C# Would have been beyond a luxury for a mobile application 25 years ago.
