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."
