What's so difficult about COBOL anyway? How come in these conversations there's never any examples?


Nothing is so difficult about COBOL. It’s just old-fashioned and everything surrounding it is legacy. Most people seem to think it has a negative value when placed on a resume. Maybe that’s true, I don’t know.

I have trouble getting people to even look at C code these days. I don’t understand why devs are so afraid of old things.
