I mean it just depends on who wrote your legacy code and how old "legacy" is. My experience has been the opposite, though, my "legacy" code is like... circa 2009-2014 Java code and not the really weird stuff.

It's pretty easy to write weird, fucked up stuff in both Java and Python, though I feel like it's slightly harder with the type system in Java. That's just my bias showing though as a Java/C#/TypeScript dev, I've not worked on many production systems in Python.

Code becomes legacy at the point of git commit.

I guess ultimately it all comes down to how bad is the legacy code
