While I would absolutely love to have that job, I’m afraid I’ll never get to do it. Language cross-compilers seem to keep getting better. It may be that case that one day, you will run a legacy program through a babelfish and get something understandable to you back out. Of course, the complexity might explode from there…or you might just not really notice it all that often. Anybody familiar with LLVM or WASM or heck even a language that can transpile to JavaScript can probably relate to this possibility. The thing that’s harder to fathom is going from low-level to high-level. High-level -> intermediary low-level -> high-level is fathomable though.
