COBOL is not about the language, it's about the whole environment in the mainframe. LLM fanboys won't understand this. You need something like a mainframe with a 99.99% uptime no matter what happens in hardware, with live CPU swapping and such.
- raverbashing 2mo agoYes and that mainframe runs several other technologies besides COBOL, and more importantly, that don't depend on it (COBOL fanboys won't understand this ;) )
- pjmlp 2mo agoGiven the option, I would go with DB 2 on z/OS instead of COBOL, for example.
- jjmarr 2mo agoErlang/Elixir/OTP has a resilient environment with hot swapping. Is that truly problematic?
- michaelmrose 2mo agoCan you explain why you need one machine never falling over ever instead of a cluster of machines never falling over at once collectively?
- Maxion 2mo agoYou don't. Either would work. Getting rid of a system running cobol on a mainframe is perhaps the hardest work possible in software engineering.
