I don't know who originally said it, but does the old adage, "code is harder to read than it is to write" apply here? Is COBOL more difficult to read than C?

- anadem 5y agoCOBOL's a lot simpler in that the words are (should be) more expressive, but as it's less powerful than C it's less terse and there's a lot more reading to do. So the ability to understand a program isn't necessarily better in COBOL than in C.
