Shocking how long it takes to move away from old technology. COBOL is another example
some people realy turn "never touch a running system" into some holy gospel.
Where is COBOL being used still?
More than 43% of international banking systems still rely on it
Oh, that's crazy. I guess it's more about the cost/risk of upgrading their core systems rather than the language itself.
I mean TBF there's a reason people aren't moving away from COBOL. It does what it needs to do better than other alternatives.
