Still maintaining COBOL here—mostly banking transaction systems (batch processing for ACH transfers) and state unemployment systems . Surprisingly robust, but we’re slowly wrapping them with APIs for modernization.

I built SeaDance (https://seedance.one/) partly to escape COBOL’s gravity. Legacy code may be eternal, but at least my side project uses this century’s tech stack.
