How should 'legacy' be defined?
If the software is actively developed and gets new features regularly, I would not consider it legacy.
If the software only gets maintenance / bug fix updates or is not updated, but is still used in production, then it is legacy software.
>> I would say projects like Fuchsia and Rust itself aren't legacy because you can move fast and break things
Fuchsia is not widely used (yet?). I am not sure how much "moving fast and breaking things" happens in Fuchsia.
Rust has the concept of editions (https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/index.html) and spends significant effort to maintain backward compatibility.
You do not have to "move fast and break things" to not be legacy.
