    Isn’t Delphi open source? Imagine using nice language when you can use COBOL on IBM and pay a shit ton amount of money!

      Its Freemium, at least it was like that. Using COBOL should be regulated by Geneva conventions at this point.

            Madam please ^^

            You should know that COBOL still evolve and the last version of it is 2018 I think (maybe one in the 2020s) and is object oriented since 2003. The problem is that ibm’s COBOL is note like 62 (at least where I worked)

              I see. Thanks for clarification. I never worked with COBOL myself but have couple of folks on the team who worked with COBOL in banking back during 2000s who still have full-on vietnam flashbacks over it. I guess the COBOL they worked with was an older iteration than you described.
