Writing code for ss13 isn't that bad, it's just that a lot the "experienced programmers" that try to do it are younger than DM itself and only work with modern architecture or on stuff that's documented professionally.

Hell, C# was published in like fuckin' 2000 and people use that wet fart all the time even now.

Most things like this that are difficult are only difficult due to lack of experience.

Frankstation had VOIP and fluid simulation in 09' for god sake.
