And if you use X-to-COBOL compilers, then even god cannot help you. Exactly this! I started my professional carreer with COBOL, which I still don't deem to bad for what it was designed. But we were forced to use Jackson Structured Programing implemented via a pre-compiler (which conveniently ceased to work in regular intervals, since the license expired, but I digress). You're right! God would have run screaming after one look at the resulting garbage code if we would have the impertinence to ask for help.
