I thought I could program in any language. But: that Cobol project makes Assembly language look clean and elegant.
I applaud Jms Dnns! This project really makes you think.

First job out of school was manufacturing systems support in COBOL and finance systems support in Assembler. As someone who has dealt with 40cm deep line flow stacks of source code for both the COBOL is way easier to hold in my brain. YMMV.
