@riotnrrd ... We could have a discussion about your opinion of COBOL. Your second point is on target. Developers responsibly write and test COBOL to Java translators and carefully make sure the results are correct (#heirloomcomputing among others). AI is a different matter altogether. GnuCOBOL simply compiles it to C and uses gcc to produce native programs. Our COBOL for GCC (gcobol) will be a GCC - native compiler. Recompilation is often all that is needed.

#cobol #gcobol #gnucobol

@riotnrrd By the way, LLVM being one thing, GCC another, COBOL for GCC is being submitted to GCC for 15 right now. Incomplete but the core language is there.
