It's COBOL, not Cobol. And I keep my COBOL textbook to ensure that I never have to work in COBOL again. I'm certain that as soon as let that textbook, I'll end up needing it.

I originally wrote the headline as COBOL, but HN has some sort of "auto headline munger" that munged it to Cobol. I see it's subsequently been set back to COBOL, presumably by one of the mods.
