I came here to suggest COBOL as a better fit, then saw your comment a few levels up in this thread.
Out of curiosity, does your implementation use CODASYL?
(For people that don't pay much attention to historical software systems, most CODASYL implementations were similar to JSON document databases, so going that way isn't as crazy as it sounds.)
- FormerLabFred 7mo agoGreat comment! Thanks! No CODASYL, the JSON parser is hand-rolled Fortran with a depth-tracking key scanner CODASYL not a crazy direction for the feed composer Got more depth to explore here, still early :)
- hedora 7mo agoCODASYL is deeply integrated with COBOL; I'm not sure it ever even worked with fortran. (I was asking about the new COBOL version you mentioned.)
