I'd say elixir hits this really well. We're managing a huge project with lots of painful, legacy code that should probably be chopped off, but it's not godawful to maintain. I'm currently in a situation where we have some code hasn't been improved, so every night while europe sleeps I console into the container, hot-swap one module with some copy-pasted code, trigger a sync, and then kick the container so the sync code gets reset. Given our limited dev resources (there is a dev on staff that would be the fastest to fix it without having to learn a ton of business logic context but he's being resourced to other higher priorities now) to solve this problem, It's not the worst (this is honestly one of the least painful 'options' for managing this situation)... I mean, it will be awful if I have to do this for two months, but at that point, that's not a PL problem, that's an org problem.
