Re:COBOL turns 60: why it will outlive us all by zamalek on Friday October 18, 2019 @12:05AM (#21288578)
It also requires porting something quite intangible over, too. In the days that COBOL was relevant, we took a very long time to write software, and we did a mostly competent job at it.

These days, even if we were using COBOL, we probably wouldn't have as robust and reliable results.

"Move fast and break things" honestly has me sold, unless it's my bank account. Many of the people who know COBOL move slow and don't do halfjobs.
