Yeah I spent half my internship in a acquired COBOL shop, the thing is not all cobol is created equal and theirs was the sum of all evil (old debt, old code generators, less old 4GL transpilers, eclipse pluging glue code). I'm more interested into people from that era doing lean and mean apps. I've seen a few instances of AS400 and COBOL programs that gave me more joy than anything the web ever produced. And I assume Parent was talking about people doing similar things.
