So the Haskell to C++ rewrite in your earlier example is supposed to be beneficial, because fresh-out-of-school code monkeys will understand it?

How so if all they speak is JS and Python.

Someone only speaking JS or Python will have a significantly easier time with a C++ codebase than a huge Haskell codebase.

You can have someone totally new to the project fixing bugs in a few days.
