The communication gap between Businesses using COBOL and Academic institutions teaching IT is the reason for the hatred for the language among young computer graduates. Whether you love or not you live with and support your family, so teach the youngsters to love COBOL, for their grandmother is not going to die any sooner!

Wisdom is in not in spending years and millions rewriting billions of lines of cobol code into a new language and then rewriting that other language into another newer language and so on … what's the problem in maintaining what's already working?!!

I started programming in COBOL since 1988 and I am still. I have seen several other languages come and go in these 3+ decades but COBOL is only growing younger. I am no more excited to learn a new language or tool invented every six months at my current age near retirement, hope COBOL will continue to feed me for few more years if not decades!

Do you hire COBOL Developers? I am looking for remote part time COBOL jobs. Do you have any to offer?
