In Discord’s defense, their product’s scope and userbase has increased orders of magnitude over just a few years. Setting language choice aside, one would expect several rewrites of core code and infra over this time.

My intention was to not set the language choice aside, especially where rewrites are squarely targeted at migrating to a different language.
Rewrites of services to decomp into different services, migrate to different datastores to scale up etc. is completely justified and is a good problem to have.
