I have seen the future, and its name is COBOL
COBOL doesn't come up, well, ever on blogs like this one, but it's still one of the most-used programming languages on the planet. As this article on the future of COBOL attests, COBOL still provides the business logic and transaction processing for most financial institutions and other big companies. Sure, Java and .Net provide a bridge between COBOL back-ends and shiny new web interfaces. But the fact is, millions of new lines of COBOL are still written every year. ANSI's latest standardization of the language, COBOL 2002, is only five years old.
