- zabzonk 4y agoit was a rhetorical question. actually, cobol was supposed to be easy for buisness people to create applications in a "natural language". so, considerably before the 80s, though there were other developments aimed at doing so then, all of which failed miserably.
- anonzzzies 4y agoI didn’t try to answer the question; I am agreeing with you and pointing out a concrete example that they said this already early 80s. Also it’s entertaining too (re)watch the computer chronicles. LLMs will change a lot of this though.
