The Enterprise-D, being a giant showpiece ship had the most bleeding edge holodeck of the era. The holodeck uniquely incorporated a lot of TOS advanced alien technology, which Starfleet engineers mostly understood. Mostly. There were some hiccups.

So essentially they went to space stack-overflow and did some space cargo cult programming? Seems legit.

    What if it compiles but crashes later on due to memory leaks?

In the words of Stargate SG1: “You can’t just slap a US Air Force sticker on a death glider!”
