I was just assigned a new project to convert a decades-old mainframe process to .Net. I have been looking at COBOL code all afternoon. X| It has been years since I touched COBOL and now I feel dirty. I am going to get a volcanic rock and stand under the shower and scrub myself until the hot water runs cold and the cold water runs dry.
Life is too short to code in COBOL.

What tools are you using? I'm seeing more interest in COBOL and also seeing some cool new tools coming out.

No new tools. It's a conversion, so the COBOL program will be dead as fast as I can drive a stake in its heart. :) Nothing more sexy than a C# Windows Forms application. They may decide to put it on the Web, so that could change things a little.

Yes, but you can never wash away the dirtiness that is left in your brain from such a horrific and traumatizing experience. Years of therapy and some good meds might help. :)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
