@thomasfuchs I just assumed the software would have to be rewritten before long because, looking at the source code, the quality of the code was so bad. Besides, there's this hot new programming language/paradigm/tool/whatever, and we should rewrite everything with THAT!
I was young and naive, and did not realize it was ALL bad code, including the hot new thing.
Still, enough people make the same mistake that we end up with partially rewritten Lava Layer code all over the place.
