migrating any large project is going to be billions of dollars worth of labor. Language isn't a large factor in that cost, you can save few tens of millions at most with a better language.
- bbkane 9mo agoCan you give me some reasoning behind this statement ("language isn't a large factor in the cost of migrating a large project")? I'm struggling to think of a larger factor
- bluGill 9mo agoThe large factor is the amount of work to create everything again. Plenty has been written about large re-writes, they can and have worked out in the long run, but generally it takes a decade for the new to be as good as the old - either it is missing critical features or it has too many bugs.
