It's amazing how a lot of big financial institutions are still running on COBOL.

Not just financial institutions - I've seen it when consulting at older medium-to-large companies. They've got new mainframes and code they've been running with minor patches for 30 some years.

I find the mainframe fascinating, honestly. It's an entirely different world than the one I'm used to, from terminology to how systems are structured.
