Just curious..and I don't want to turn this into a language war, but which language was it?

  And, probably more importantly, what kind of application was it and was it using a popular major framework (e.g., a web backend in Spring)?

    It was a totally custom ERP application in PHP, no frameworks. The style was very idiosyncratic to the original creator. And to top it off we did not have a versioning system or test environment, we did everything live, right there and then.

      Yikes. You weren't kidding about doing everything wrong. Just out of more curiosity, can you comment on the idiosyncratic code style? I saw in your other post that it was written in PHP 4. So that means it did have access to classes and whatnot, right?

  Not the same guy but I work for a company that has a similar code base. The project originally started 20 years ago as a C++ application. Parts have then been migrated to a C#/ASP.NET web app. But since migration never completed and the original C++ application is still in use, the web app ends up calling those C++ assemblies on the back end. Now, newer components are being started/migrated to .NET 5 and some of the C# code ends up being duplicated and we are basically maintaining C++, .NET Framework and .NET 5. Would not recommend.

  It was a PHP 4. And this was in the time PHP 5.3 was already available for production.
