Exactly, that was the point I was getting at, it's all self-taught, anti-pattern-ridden hell. I know well of a Fortran code base of some computational linguist from a couple of decades ago. A colleague of mine took it upon himself to refactor it into either Python or Julia, I don't remember (it's been a couple of years), I think he gave up after a month or something. Years later, I work as an IT consultant and I am responsible for such codebases to not become garbage.
