Oh, and I should mention that legacy code is EVERYWHERE and will never completely be replaced. 40 year old code on 50 year old hardware (that has been replaced countless times) is running on some of the most vital systems in the world, and it will probably never be replaced. Even with the typical pessimistic outlook that runs rampant among most people our age, you would be shocked and a little frightened to learn about some of the government defense systems out there still...
And saying that "all the evidence" points to this is at best a huge exageration and at worst a blatant attempt at deception. DJ, I'm surprised to see something like that come from you.
