You're confusing things. Google's example focused on rewriting specific components with a specific goal in mind: fix/avoid unsafe memory access. The examples in that blog post consist of major rewrites of huge software projects like browsers, whose goal was to be feature complete.
Those are quite different things.
- thesuperbigfrog 4y agoYes. I conflated the project rewrites with component rewrites. The statement, "Almost every project sees fewer issues with a rewrite, no matter which languages are involved.", was too broad and I wanted to show how I disagreed with it when the article I cited was concerned with component rewrites. I did not intend to conflate the two since the scopes are quite different.
