Don't hate COBOL until you've tried it
One thing I don’t understand with these very old languages is that I thought the reason they are still around is because of some programs written in the 70s to early 90s are still around and needs to be maintained.But how complex can these programs be? Surely anything written before 1992-ish can’t involve that much code just because of the limitation of the machines they were designed to run on. What makes it that expensive that no one wants to rewrite them in a modern language?
