Even if you can do this with AI and it produces a fully working result, the biggest problems in legacy systems are not the programming languages they are written in.

In fact converting one programming language into another doesn't require AI. That's because programming languages are uniform and exact. You can easily find tools that do this already.

The biggest problem is decades of technical debt and forgotten rules. With old mainframes the people who wrote the code are often no longer with us.

I don't envy you. I learned cool in university and vowed to never touch it again. Without going into too much detail, what are some of the common problems?

I don't know... These last few years have led me to never underestimate stupidity. Not that I think this would happen, because I don't think Americans would allow that.

It was misquoted. He was saying that Putin won't live forever, because of Putin's age. It was just a comment.
