>Also, why rewrite perl code in python? Those two languages have basically the same set of problems, assuming the perl code is doing banking stuff and not orchestrating GPUs.

Because at some point it's no longer worthwhile to continue hacking up stuff build with the assumptions and best practices of 20yr ago and just want to write a new one that's built with today's assumptions and best practices and will be easier/cheaper for everyone who has to interact with for the next 20yr.
