Maybe that's the reason why I never encountered one. I wonder: are those all programs that originated in the 60's and 70's and are still in use, or are they also new programs? |
I, for one, was writing new COBOL programs in the 90s - for a UK energy provider. I don't program any more (I wasn't very good at it in honesty), but I'm still friends with quite a number of COBOL programmers who both maintain existing programs and write new ones.
