Most of the interfaces I've seen that interact with COBOL running on mainframes are built with Java.
Not sure if this helps, but could also lead into working close/near with mainframes and COBOL.
- rhabarba 6y agoQuite a few companies have specialized in migrating COBOL to C# or Java code, so I’m not surprised. I wonder why they choose those languages as one-trick ponies though. Seems like the “we only have a hammer” problem.
- dividedbyzero 6y agoI guess because it's very very likely the rest of the custom internal systems is already written in one of those languages, they are both used a lot in such contexts.
