The environment changes, and old programs need to update to keep up with new data formats and remote services and security threats.

If you do not build gigantic monolithic applications and instead stitch together lots of things that do just one thing each using jobs engines and APIs for injecting data and collecting data most of the worker updates become trivial - minutes rather than months. It becomes irrelevant if a worker is written in perl, python, C, java, scala, etc.
