Old building decay over time. A lot of COBOL still runs fine decades later.
Anyone involved in a major refactor knows it is a minefield. It should only be done as part of a strategic upgrade, not because Rust is "better" than C++.
- threatofrain 2y agoOld doesn't mean unmaintained, old buildings have run longer than COBOL has existed. Tearing down an old building just because a new building is objectively better can still be seen as a shameful waste, and although I don't know much about construction, I'm sure tearing down and rebuilding is also a minefield.
