Shocking how long it takes to move away from old technology. COBOL is another example

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.

Where is COBOL being used still?

[-] Espiritdescali@futurology.today 1 points 4 months ago

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.
