NEWLISP is the new LISP

U MENA COBOL was the old Java

Cobol was a good language in its day, it was designed as a language used for business. Its still in use as a legacy language and programmers can make a lot of money maintaining COBOL code. But the language is dead and not going anywhere.

PL/I on the other hand is a language that should be still be used right a long side of C and C++

I can't decide if this is a double bluff troll or just an idiot.

>>9
I could use a laugh, go ahead and tell me what is stupid about what I said

U MENA COBOL was the old Java
This is probably why >>9 called you a double bluff troll. The thread title was a reference to a very old idea, and you played Captain Obvious and presented that as if it were a new concept that >>1-chan just hadn't heard of.
The fact that you accompanied it with a meme propagated by an imageboard user doesn't help.

Cobol was a good language in its day, it was designed as a language used for business.
Grammar aside, COBOL was never a good language; not even ``in its day''. At the time COBOL was released, Lisp existed. Fortran existed. Algol existed. COBOL was outdated before it even appeared.
By the time it actually caught on, there were so many programming languages that would be considered good even by today's standards that there was really no excuse for anyone to use it from a goodness point of view.

Its still in use as a legacy language and programmers can make a lot of money maintaining COBOL code.
Again playing Captain Obvious.

But the language is dead and not going anywhere.
You haven't looked at COBOL 2002. You hadn't even heard of COBOL 2002 before it was mentioned in this thread.

PL/I on the other hand is a language that should be still be used right a long side of C and C++
I don't think even you would need this one explained to you.
I would also like to point out that ``a long side'' is not the idiom you were looking for.

Was that enough explanation for you?

The thread title was a reference to a very old idea, and you played Captain Obvious and presented that as if it were a new concept that >>1-chan just hadn't heard of.

Oh, wait, >>14 was talking to >>12, not >>13.  Oh well.  This threads is dildos anyways.

You haven't looked at COBOL 2002. You hadn't even heard of COBOL 2002 before it was mentioned in this thread.

What happened to COBOL 2008?

>>18
The major COBOL revisions are COBOL-68, COBOL-74, COBOL-85, and COBOL 2002. At this rate, the next one can be expected in 2026.

>>17
More so now that you've posted in it.
