In the recent standards thread, there was some discussion of the continuing evolution of COBOL (Deutsche Bank using COBOL with XML, ISO updating the COBOL standard, Micro Focus selling a COBOL for .NET). Now IBM has announced a COBOL for developers in the enterprise Java arena. It uses XML bi-directionally. http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/05/11/HNcobol_1.html "Developers can write EJB in Cobol 3.3 on WebSphere z/OS, which is the mainframe version of the WebSphere application server." There's been a sizable investment in COBOL in recent years. First Y2K, now for XML, NET and EJB. emacs, SGML, COBOL and the Mini Cooper. Hmm. Probably time to invest in a company making bell bottom pants.
