#DEVCommunity#webdev#CodeNewbie#javascript#100DaysOfCode "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

I think learning a bit of COBOL taught me an important lesson, which is that programming languages are best understood in the context of why they were created. When you think of COBOL as designed for reading in tabular data, and spitting out tabular data, it makes sense.

#MYTH: Systems built with COBOL are old, outdated, and prone to failure.#TRUTH:#COBOL systems are still around today because they work, and they are reliable. Keep watching@MistyMVD &@EddieHoughton3's session for more COBOL myths, busted.#MicroFocusUniverseThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

I don’t know about just hello world, but I’ve used a lot of languages to some degree that I doubt I’ll ever return to - Ruby on Rails, Forth, Lisp, Pascal, COBOL, Fortran, Perl, TCL/TK, Cray assembly language, etc. Today’s star is tomorrow’s technical debt. I try to keep learning

They have been trying to upgrade their software systems for over a decade and can’t seem or won’t figure it out. It’s all run on cobol.

Agreed, COBOL was amazingly good, high level, multipurpose for those times. The ecosystem wasn’t. Remember source control systems with file locking?

That being said, I learned both Assembly and COBOL in college (among other languages) and loved both of them. So I think there something wrong with me

at the age of 15, I developed & ran
#COBOL on my Commodore 64 at home & on#mainframes during night shifts while working as an OS operator at the Nelson (NZ) DataCom data centre (I fibbed about being 17 on the job application form) here's the manual PDF: https://commodore.software/downloads?task=download.send&id=13865&catid=211&m=0 …pic.twitter.com/81ADWaJUD3Thanks.

I've actually compiled and run COBOL code on our HPC systems with GNU COBOL.
