That’s just the norm tbh. You learn new techniques, the language gets new optimizations, keywords and shortcuts. That doesn’t mean your code is unmaintainable.
I rewrite it because it becomes a mess of asymmetric assumptions, weird dependencies and hacky extensions, I can't really blame the language for that one.
