I to have written a service that still runs and never touched it’s code since. I think I used COBOL.

Interestingly, Graydon has mentioned in the past that he may have named the language after the fungi.

Never touched code is seldom a sign of quality. But there's the old saying; if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Another saying, “broken gets fixed but shoddy lasts forever”.
Edit: this seems like I’m suggesting rust makes shoddy results. Didn’t mean to imply that. I’m actually very excited to use Rust in prod soon.
Perhaps Rust's name is apropos: your code will be so reliable that you won't need to look at it again until it has collected rust on its thick iron framework.
