I like the simple design. I just noticed that you guys are also behind Swifty. Which languages are you guys planning on next?

Thanks! Now that we're into Java, we might delve into COBOL. I'm kidding, we'll keep you posted on our future plans! It'll be something useful, that's for sure. :)
That's hilarious :D

Due to its status in the enterprise and the amount of existing business critical codebases in various stages of rot I tend to think of Java as the COBOL of tomorrow.

That's a hot topic, haha! Anyway, I really like this quote: "I'm sure there are still COBOL programmers out there, but I wouldn't want to be one of them."
