It's a very ugly language, I don't think anyone is going to disagree there.
That being said, it has some intriguing features that I'm not going to dismiss. I work with COBOL on a daily basis, so I'm not going to say no to a new language just because it's ugly. There seems to be a lot of utility here.
- hawkw 12y agoPurely out of curiosity: what is it that you do that forces you to work with COBOL on a daily basis?
- e_modad 12y agoLikewise! I'm curious too. Why is COBOL your main language? Bank legacy servers?
- AnkhMorporkian 12y agoI mostly do legacy code conversion for the banking sector. It's all contract work, so it varies, but 95% of the time that's my deal.
