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.

When code is never touched, it's usually because its business requirements don't change.

Or everyone is too afraid to touch it.
