    Those would fit my definition. And yes I would expect they all have some very old code still included.

    I know it’s fashionable to dunk on Windows but running old code seems pretty universal OS wise.

      If it aint broken. But also when coding you don’t start reinventing everything yourself. Well… I did hear about some researchers at my old uni, they would start a project out with developing a task specific language. But there’s a reason they were working as postdocs at a university and not in the private sector.

      Anyway, only a statistically insignificant amount of programmers don’t reuse code.
