I've worked with old COBOL, FORTRAN, and RPG systems and have argued to management for replacing every single one of them at one point or another, but the overall sentiment on HN that if it isn't written in JavaScript or OCaml it's probably shit does get tiring after a while.

In the world outside Silicon Valley, and outside of Venture Capital-funded projects, the type of code and infrastructure everyone here idolizes is the exception by a wide margin.
