Is COBOL still relevant?
-
We all know COBOL is a dying language and there is not much coverage here because of that. However if anyone is involved with COBOL at any level or knows someone who is, you/they might find this article thought provoking. http://primacomputing.co.nz/COBOL21/COBOLRelevance.aspx
It's only relevant to someone that's being paid to code in it.

As an aside this is what you get if you don't have Javascript enabled. Thought it amusing.

I actually know a guy that's got a COBOL coding job here in San Aantonio.

A colleague and I were discussing COBOL just yesterday.
