You know, I once had that rule for myself. And I would state it loudly.
My first consulting gig involved writing some moderately large royalty accounting programs in RPG-III for a System 34. One day, the engineer from the vendor stopped by and plopped cobol onto the system.
Suddenly, COBOL didn't seem all that bad, and i broke my rule.
Yes, there are some things worse than COBOL, and I hope you never have to deal with them.
