Reproducibility and backward compatibility

Many people talk about reproducible research. Stata has been dedicated to it for over 40 years. Unlike other software, you do not have to keep multiple installations of old versions of Stata, hoping they will still run on a modern operating system, to be able to run code from years or decades before. You can simply use modern Stata, and it will understand any old code or dataset from the past. In addition to backward compatibility, Stata also offers many tools to ensure numerical, stochastic, and computer reproducibility.
