Interestingly, I did have code that monitored memory size and disk
space available 20 years ago. This was when running multi-user systems
on 20 and 50 _Mega_byte disk drives. In my view, 'nowadays' (as in the
last dozen years) there is no longer any need to do this.

I have systems using internet (as both server and client) and
networking on various diverse platforms and my code only trivially
cares about the environment.

While I have hand coded the Windows API in Cobol to draw graphs and
animations*, I doubt that I would bother to do so in future. Just get
a library or component to do it.

* One program drew a perspective 'helm view' of a container ship
showing the containers in their exact place including relative to the
waterline. ie it took into account the displacement, trim and heel (if
any) to show the view over the bow. A modification allowed the
position of the 'helm' to be changed, an undocumented feature was that
a sequence of positions could be specified, eg starting with the
'helm' at -500m and 200m to port, and then it would display a 'fly by'.
 On a 486 the frame rate wasn't high.
