     @kaia Not what I expected. There seem to be many more COBOL programmers under 35 than I would have guessed, and fewer between 55-60 than I would have guessed. Interesting.

     One day I'll grow up and be a COBOL developer 👶
     Oh, wait, why is there such a sharp decline after 55, do they just finish career, do they die?! 😱

     @Jerry @kaia Assumably a lot of younger people learned COBOL since those who can write it are in increasingly high demand to maintain old systems. Would've expected more older programmers as well though.

     @kaia when the global finance system changes to Petroyuan will they rewrite all of it in Rust?
