We aren’t coders here but we’ve certainly been witness to the variety of programming languages that have come in and out of vogue over the last 20 years regarding web and mobile development. During that time, NOT among those languages has been COBOL, which honestly we only remember hearing about during that obligatory half-semester computer course we all had to take in high school in the 80s. COBOL’s stored right there in that pocket of our brains grouped in nicely with Pascal, Basic, Napier’s Bones, Babbage’s Analytical Engine, ENIAC, UNIVAC, etc.
We had no idea that COBOL, that dusty old gal, to this day, controls nearly every little bit of our financial system in 2020, and will continue to do so for decades, probably.
