Legacy code, not new code.
You said it yourself. Shut down the world economy based on this?

Legacy code is not intrinsically bad code, it is not even necessarily obsolete code. We did not shut down the economy because of a program written in Fortran. We shut down the economy because of a poorly written program. Bad programs are being written today in C++ and Python. Excellent code is still running in assembler, Fortran and COBOL.
I am sure some of the climate models that are always wrong were not written in Fortran, but they just as messed up.
