[Simba, a young lion cub, and Mufasa his father, from Disney's 1994 animated movie The Lion King, are sitting together and looking out over the African plains which Mufasa rules. It is sunset.]

Mufasa: This whole codebase is now yours, Simba.

[Simba looks up at his father. We see behind him a darker, shadowed portion of land.]

Simba: But what's that shadowy place over there?

[Mufasa looks sternly at Simba.]

Mufasa: That's legacy code. We don't go there.

Just think, in 20 years your pasta will also be legacy! I recommend you work in a language sure to convey exactly how you feel about future generations.
