Personally, I wonder if/when Java will become the next COBOL: nobody wants to learn it, feels extremely awkward and obtuse compared to whatever is current then, but there will be loads of old code that needs maintaining.
Certainly feels like it's on that track now...
- marcodave 5y agowell I heard that good COBOL coders nowadays are recalled from retirement and covered in gold in order to maintain old codebases. It's not that bad :)
