COBOL, definitely COBOL
- nsphere 10y agoYeah me too. I can't wait to rewrite our code base in Java (not even being sarcastic), but at least we will be able to make our own objects and have recursion! Yay!
- Mister_Snuggles 10y agoLucky - you get to rewrite it. Our COBOL comes from a software vendor, so rewriting it means waiting for them to decide that the cost of redeveloping decades of complex business logic in a new language/toolset outweighs the cost of supporting and enhancing these COBOL programs. Fortunately it's a mostly read-only codebase. The number of times we've changed the COBOL code ourselves can probably be counted on one hand.
- kayla210 10y agoHaha, same. I may get to do some Java, but there's no telling.
