@SnoopJ @aud @glyph @xgranade most of our codebase where i work is COBOL and every few years we start talking to a new company that claims they can translate it into Java, but none have actually been able to deliver. my conspiracy theory is that any companies still left with mainframes and COBOL are far past the point of being able to transition from that, and these COBOL-away companies make all their money doing long expensive consultations before saying it won't work and finding another sucker. it's Lucy-pulling-the-football-out-from-under-Charlie-Brown-as-a-Service, or LptfofuCBaaS
