Cross-Platform Compatibility
Captions available
The idea
Cross-platform compatibility is a language's ability to run across different operating systems and devices — one source serving many machines without rewriting.
In practice
A transit app's logic riding unchanged from desktop to phone is the property at work.
Where people slip
Compatibility is engineered per language, never assumed.
