It was just an assumption, based on someone writing an article called "Don't hate COBOL until you've tried it". As said, I personally wouldn't even consider it, so there is zero chance to hate it as well.
- the_af 9y agoYes, it wasn't a criticism of your post! Just a clarification, namely, that I think COBOL evangelism is misplaced, because you're either forced to use it by your customer (often, a bank or similar institution) or you are not, in which case there are plenty of better, modern languages you should use instead. In either case, you don't need someone convincing you to use COBOL. If you're unaware of this language, you don't need it :)
