> Having worked in insurance, this piece makes me wonder what languages are typically used to write software in insurance or other business medical type settings. I'm not sure if it's different for medical insurance, but I worked with a company that did other types of insurance (mostly life with a smattering of others), and it was Java as far as the eye could see. Most things that pre-dated Java were done in COBOL.
