    "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."

    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.

    : Systems built with COBOL are old, outdated, and prone to failure. : systems are still around today because they work, and they are reliable. Keep watching & 's session for more COBOL myths, busted.

    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?

    Interesting

    Am hearing that Brentwood, prestigious private school in LA, is in chaos after almost zero white seniors got into to UC schools. When friends went there in happier times, UC acceptance was like 80%. This year, bipoc kids only. Parents who spent $60K/yr+ for 6 years little upset

    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 😅

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

    "43 years of experience" Mom must have been writing COBOL while he was still baking... learned by osmosis?
