If you have an existing COBOL app you can convert it to a web app and develop using a simpler syntax with more features through SystemZ from Zortec Intl. I've worked with them personally and they were super-duper.

COBOL isn't so bad when you use a modern variant that purposefully deals with many of the complaints surrounding it.

No problem and glad to be of [di]service. I was familiar with the URL you posted, and probably should not have commented as a reply to you, but there you have it. :)

Isn't that basically how JavaScript took over the server space via node.js?
