I guess we should rewrite it in Rust. Airplane logistics feels like one of the most complicated systems running today. A single airline has to track millions of entities: planes, parts, engineers, luggage, cargo, passengers, pilots, gate agents, maintenance schedules, etc. Most of which was created all before best-practices were a thing. Not only is the software complex, but there are probably millions of devices in the world expecting exactly format X and will never be upgraded. I have no doubt that eventually the software will be Ship of Thesus-ed into something approaching sanity, but there are likely to be glaciers of tech debt which cannot be abstracted away in anything less than decades of work.
