And than you run some kind of software museum (?)
that solve historical problems of scientific computing
with modern computer hardware?

Your "I have to wait" assume that the problems are the
same over 5-10 years. But the C/C++ guys did not wait,
they start to solve larger and more and more complex task
over the years while you are waiting.
