- cratermoon 6y agoIf there's a compelling need for a rewrite, then changing languages is acceptable. If the case can be made, and the rewrite is done with due attention to the pitfalls[1], then do it. If there's a sort of vague "this sucks, let's rewrite in language <foo> which is objectively better in my opinion", that's bad.
