"The way of Cobol" sounds like a kung-fu style; perhaps something akin to Drunken Master Style. Or some strange Battlestar Galatical ethical mandate ("To behave ethically Captain Apollo, one must conform to The Way Of Cobol"). I take your point tho. However, it seems to me there's something inherently snarky and pejorative about comparing anything to Cobol. I'm a big enough man to admit that those might be my own anti-Cobol biases coming out. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to write Cobol apps. Perhaps my son 20 years from now will be saying the same thing about Java.
