I'm not advocating NOT rewriting it. I'm just saying, back to the great grandparent's point, that the issue is a dev went rogue, NOT the language the rogue dev chose. The difficulty is the same regardless of the language the rogue dev chose; it's not that they picked Clojure, it's that they picked a language there was no organizational adoption of.
