COBOL is dead?
While not the the 800 lb. gorilla it once was, it still seems to be going for a 50+ year old language... http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/post/programming-language-jo... http://langpop.com/ Not my first programming language, but it did pay the bills for a while back in the 90's. |

"COBOL is dead?" Funny, that is _exactly_ what went through my mind the instant I read the article title. |

I don't think much new is being written in COBOL these days. Problem is there's so much legacy stuff around, it's taking a bit of killing off. I think that's what they are referring to. |

It's on life support. |

Would it be wrong of me to pipe up and say I hope Java dies? I mean really - other than portable (and slow) code what does java have going for it? ~Jeff |

"what does java have going for it?" Advertising budget. |
