Cobol is actually a pretty stupid and unsophisticated programming language.
What is probably the main challenge with cobol software is very poor development methodology, for example:
- huge source code files, 500k lines
- variables with meaningless names "vr45"
- The practice of commenting source code was not invented back in the 80s, when the code was written
- All variables in cobol are global :awesome:
