Why COBOL is still the best language for...

... huge ammount of transactions????

I've always wondered. In my company, COBOL programmers tend to have higher salaries (they are older, too), But the thing is, technically, ¿why is superior to other technologies?

PS: I hate COBOL. Anyone sane does.

I studied RMcobol85. What a P-O-S. But why is SUPERIOR to other alternatives??? ah??? What is _THE_ feature that makes it THE choice for high-volume transactions????
