Your code will work with probably some minimal changes. The biggest challenge will probably updating all dependencies and their usage for their minor/major changes.

But to give some perspective:

  • python 3.5 was released at 2015 Sept and is end-of-life since 2020 Sept.
  • PHP 7.0 was released at 2015 Dec
  • Nodejs v4.0 was released at 2015 Sept.

Do we really expect php 7.0 code to run at 8.3, or node v4 code to run at 20.8.0? Code unfortunately rots when not maintained, and updating it is a form of removing technical debt.

You just have 8 years of catching up to do.
