There are only two reasons softwares goes for decades without being replaced:

  1. It’s so unimportant that nobody uses it
  2. It’s so important that the last major bug was squashed 15 years ago

But dude, bro, we could put the entire system on the blockchain man, and make it super efficient with an AI backend that will remove all errors bro.

Dude it's not even written in Rust bro. WTF is this dinosaur shit?

I don't think Rust is a bad language for doing same things people do with C++, but with a smaller standard and less legacy.

But yep, that's the kind of people.

About dinosaur things - I've started learning Tcl/Tk and it's just wonderful.
