The point is that there is a lot of COBOL already out there, so someone has to maintained it and add to it. What is more, C# is not a perfect language for business its self, neither is Ruby. With good tooling the difference are small. Actually, in my case I would never recommend using Ruby for a commercial project - but that is another discussion for another time :)
- larrywright 16y agoThere's been a lot of ruby code written on commercial projects, I think the developers (and customers) would disagree with that. I also think you're way off on the amount of difference between C# and COBOL. The fact that COBOL requires good tooling to be usable is telling in and of itself.
