Cloudflare announced this in a blog post a few months ago (https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-now-support-cobol/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-now-support-c...). They explain a bit more about the history of COBOL and why this specific project exists.

Oh, thank you. I had not seen that!

That was great fun to work on and I'm amused to see my COBOL implementation of Conway's Game of Life still running just fine on Cloudflare Workers. We've announced a few more languages for Workers: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-announces-broad-language-support/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-workers-announces-bro...

  Still no Lua? :(

    Can't you compile a Lua application into WASM and run it that way?
    - azakai 6y ago
      You can compile the Lua VM into wasm+JS and run it there, yes. (for example, https://daurnimator.github.io/lua.vm.js/lua.vm.js.html https://daurnimator.github.io/lua.vm.js/lua.vm.js.html) Pure wasm doesn't work yet since the VM needs either C++ exceptions or longjmp (to unwind). Wasm exceptions support will eventually help there, but meanwhile there is a dependency on JS exceptions.
