I can relate, for sure, but it's not like they'd written a 50 million line operating system in ASP.
At the point you've decide to build a terrible new internal-only language just to maintain a single bug-tracking app codebase ... perhaps you aren't been doing an accurate cost/benefit analysis?
- tptacek 11y agoLiterally every single person on this thread agrees: if you're going to rewrite code by hand, you wouldn't deploy something like Wasabi. Wasabi exists entirely to facilitate not rewriting. You've also got several current and former FC'ers on this thread, all? of whom don't like Wasabi as a language, all saying that from a pure cost/benefit perspective, Wasabi paid off.
