Wow, that’s doomed to fail hard.
Where I work at, we’re slowly rewriting a legacy Perl code base to Go HTTP services, and the best decision we made was to allow interoperability between the two systems. This way we can migrate the legacy parts by parts with minimal impact. This is a slow process (in 5 years we migrated maybe 3/4 of the code) but very reliable. And we actually have something to show for it.
