Maybe some ALGOL 58 while we’re at it too.

Maybe some ALGOL 58 while we’re at it too.
Lisp variants like Clojure are being used for new projects (e.g. Logseq) but I’d be surprised to hear of anyone choosing COBOL for a greenfield project.
Yeah the only reason someone should learn COBOL is job security and potentially making a living moving things over. No reason to start a project in the lang. You can make flat files into ODBCs nowadays.
I suppose the ability to be left alone because everyone is afraid the COBOL person leaves and the company goes under is a good reason :)
