I suspect that the average liftime of a typical c++ and js codebase differ by one or two orders of magnitude.

- nindalf 4y agoYou’re assuming the codebase would need to be rewritten. It’s always possible that there might be a gradual transition within the same codebase. New features could be implemented in the new language while keeping everything else the same.
