I haven't been able to speak about #programming much because I've been distracted by things I usually don't post without a CW.

Anyway, things have (hopefully) calmed down enough that I think I'm going back to the drawing board and I'm just going to hone my skills in the languages I already know a thing or two about, even if I am worried about #C going the way of #Cobol in my lifetime. idk, maybe that's just #Rust devs that need to touch grass, but I'm hoping if I do go back to Rust, it'll be easier to tackle when I already remember everything I could need to know and have an adequate portfolio on another language.

@Crell #php doesn't do any of that.

• It's worse than #COBOL!

Banks and Social Security are not using #COBOL because it’s so great, but because it’s so hard to migrate to something else.

They should and do migrate away … very slowly and carefully.

(I‘m in banking.)

I don’t dislike COBOL. I program daily in #ABAP, which looks like a COBOL dialect. I don’t mind verbosity, verbosity increases readability and debuggability. No devs? Train some. But COBOL developers tell me it has serious limitations. It’s just old.
