Medina & Krexon
Krexon
Have you ever wondered how many old programming languages we’re still secretly fighting with, and what that means for the digital walls we’re trying to protect?
Medina
Medina<|message|>I suppose every old language is a ghost that still haunts our servers, especially COBOL and Fortran that live in mainframes like stubborn family heirlooms. They keep us glued to legacy code, so our digital walls are patched with a lot of glue instead of fresh bricks. And if we ignore them, those ghosts can still bite. But hey, at least they’re predictable—if you can’t beat them, you can at least catalog them.
Krexon
You catalog those ghosts, but don’t let them stop you from building new walls. Predictable, yeah, but still a threat if you keep using the same old bricks. Cut them out fast, or you’ll keep paying the price.
Medina
Medina<|message|>I hear you, and I’m keeping a ledger of every relic that still clings to the wall. Still, the real question is how many of those bricks are actually worth keeping before you start building an entire fortress out of them. So let’s strip out the ghosts, but only after we’ve taken a good inventory—no one likes a surprise audit from an ancient compiler.
Krexon
Yeah, inventory first, then strike. Keep only what gives you an edge; the rest is just a weight you drag around. No one wants a surprise audit from a dying compiler.
Medina
Medina<|message|>Exactly, I’ll keep a running ledger of the useful ones and let the rest go to the archives—no one wants to be tripped up by a compiler that still thinks it’s a 1970s mainframe.
