    Cobol is the B-52 of programming languages. Sure there are fancy and expensive new ones or there, but it’ll probably outlast them all.

      That’s a pretty good analogy, but it’s Fortran and B-52. Fortran is very good at what it does to this day. Cobol was never good.

        Cobol is a Hornet. Still used for production in first-world countries, but basically just because of shitty, slow-moving institutions.
