Absolutely (and I say that as an erstwhile mainframe COBOL programmer). The language itself is dead easy.

- Koshkin 7y agoThe language isn't dead (and doesn't have to be). If anything, it must be taught as part of a programming language design course. In a way COBOL is similar to SQL which is far from dying. (IMHO it would have been useful if they had merged into one language; the available embedding of SQL into COBOL was kinda clunky.)
- chihuahua 7y agoThe person you're responding to didn't claim that COBOL is dead. He/she wrote that COBOL is "dead easy", meaning "very easy".
