Hey, not "no one." I wrote COBOL professionally 33 years ago. I could probably pick it back up if I had to.

You totally could. I learned enough of it in a few days during a summer job in high school so I could fix some old code. People act like old programming languages are the Voynich manuscript or something. They’re easy to learn! That’s the whole point of programming languages! 🙃

I always thought I would end my career as I started it, writing COBOL code. Much like over-the-hill judges in the Judge Dredd comic go on The Long Walk into the Cursed Earth, bringing law to the lawless unto the bitter end. Turns out to be Bash, PowerShell, YAML, and some crusty old Perl instead.

My dad is 74 and still getting headhunted because he knows COBOL. (He's retired so he hasn't taken any yet, but he almost took a gig that would have had him living in Europe for a year, just to live in Europe for a year)
