Cobol, the scourge of God.
The blog says: "...looking at what has to happen to put COBOL applications into the Cloud."
The poor souls that will have to program, sorry, to code web pages in COBOL!

"It makes the computer studies teachers who insisted on people learning Pascal instead of COBOL in the 1980s look like right twits."

*Shrug*.. it's kinda nice to think that software systems written 50 years ago are still extant..
Gives me the slight hope that maybe something of what I'm writing now in Ruby, Erlang, etc may be around in a decade or so. Then again, all the Delphi/Pascal I wrote seems to have been replaced by people who thought moving to C# was mandated.. mainly because it was the shiny new ship in the harbour.. *sigh*
