"we've got all this legacy code"

Often translates as: "It's paying the bills".

That's a powerful argument.

That doesn't matter. You can find legacy code in all sorts of languages paying the bills, including the wage bill of its deriders as they work on all that new shiny - which, if it's good enough, will become legacy code in due course.
