Is there some advantage to using COBOL or did they just have an old COBOL programmer who just kept using it?

- bigbuppo 2y agoEvery single attempt to replace COBOL has ended in failure. COBOL will never die. You can move it to new platforms, but it can never be replaced.
- Suppafly 2y agoThat's not really true, lots of places of replace it with newer stuff.
- nazgulsenpai 2y agoI'm not privy to the details as a sysadmin but based on observation its either an application requirement or legacy foundational codebase carried forward -- probably a combination of both.
