COBOL, the computer programming language that runs the world, has turned 50."What's a cobol?", you ask?
COBOL is the programming language of business, running large companies all around the world on mainframe computers, good ole big iron. I've been working with it for two decades, first in the steel industry, then insurance, and now retail.
Below should be a box displaying for your reading pleasure fantastic COBOL facts. So, read up, gentle reader, and be amazed by all that is accomplished by this 50-year-old programming language. Thank you, Grace!
