COBOL is dead. This is just another press release from Micro Focus, a legacy/COBOL vendor. If you're fooled by this, you're not thinking critically.

- cao825 16y agoI think you need to define dead. If you are saying it is dead in the sense that there is no new development being done on it and/or it is not in high use, then you are completely mistaken. I would say the best "dead" definition for it is: any company looking to implement a new system would not choose COBOL as their language. In that sense, it is technically dying, but definitely not dead.
