War COBOL nicht diese uralte Programmiersprache, die (u.a.) im Banken-Umfeld eingesetzt wird und nicht so richtig durch aktuelle Programmiersprachen ersetzt werden kann?

Ich habe hier ein Stellenangebot gefunden, das vielleicht für entsprechende Programmierer:innen interessant sein könnte:

        With all the COBOL vibe-coding talk going on, I would like to spotlight LDPL (ldpl-lang.org/) which is a COBOL flavoured programming language that runs on modern UNIX-like systems (including MacOS)

              Is COBOL really that hard to understand? Fintech people talk about it like it's some esoteric thing that the gods left behind that mere mortals cannot comprehend

              Let me guess, those programs are actually full of clandestine backdoors and porting the software might blow their cover... right? Seems reasonable in this case to use AI to do a rewrite, don't want any actual humans looking at how the sausage is made

                I remember when I was learning , back on the earthen floor in the monastery school for orphans. The old monk said "COBOL was designed so EXECUTIVES could read code".
                Since AI passed a corpo executive in capability in 1874 , I think we will be all right ! 😁

                      A weird thing about being 50 is that there are programming languages that I've used regularly for longer than some of the software developers I work with have been alive. I first wrote BASIC code in the 1980s. The first time I wrote an expression evaluator--a fairly standard programming puzzle or homework--was in 1990. I wrote it in Pascal for an undergraduate homework assignment. I first wrote perl in the early 1990s, when it was still perl 4.036 (5.38.2 now). I first wrote java in 1995-ish, when it was still java 1.0 (1.21 now). I first wrote scala, which I still use for most things today, in 2013-ish, when it was still scala 2.8 (3.4.0 now). At various times I've been "fluent" in 8086 assembly, BASIC, C, Pascal, perl, python, java, scala; and passable in LISP/Scheme, Prolog, old school Mathematica, (early days) Objective C, matlab/octave, and R. I've written a few lines of Fortran and more than a few lines of COBOL that I ran in a production system once. I could probably write a bit of Haskell if pressed but for some reason I really dislike its syntax so I've never been enthusiastic about learning it well. I've experimented with Clean, Flix, Curry, Unison, Factor, and Joy and learned bits and pieces of each of those. I'm trying to decide whether I should try learning Idris, Agda, and/or Lean. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting a few languages. Bit of 6502 assembly long ago. Bit of Unix/Linux shell scripting languages (old enough to have lived and breathed tcsh before switching to bash; I use fish now mostly).

                      When I say passable: in graduate school I wrote a Prolog interpreter in java (including parsing source code or REPL input), within which I could run the classic examples like append or (very simple) symbolic differentiation/integration. As an undergraduate I wrote a Mathematica program to solve the word recognition problem for context-free formal languages. But I'd need some study time to be able to write these languages again.

                      I don't know what the hell prompted me to reminisce about programming languages. I hope it doesn't come off as a humblebrag but rather like old guy spinning yarns. I think I've been through so many because I'm never quite happy with any one of them and because I've had a varied career that started when I was pretty young.

                      I guess I'm also half hoping to find people on here who have similar interests so I'm going to riddle this post with hashtags:
