    I recently got pulled in to help out on a 30+ years old mainframe project written in COBOL. It was a bit of shock to realise how much I remembered, since it had been 30+ years since I last worked with COBOL! I occasionally miss my old FORTRAN days (most recently Fortran 77 rather than FORTRAN IV) but I never have yearned to do COBOL (or even PL/1) again. Nostalgic thoughts?

    - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

    Assembler on many pre-PC mainframes and "minicomputers". I miss it each and every time I open Visual Studio.
