COBOL

Crappy
Old
Boring
Outdated
Language

The biggest waste of time ever created by man; disgusting programming language that makes both your fingers and brain hurt at the same time; symptoms include unexplainable random rambling and mumbling, fever, headache, hair loss, irritability, depression, an all-consuming desire to be doing ANYTHING else, and various other psycho-somatic conditions.

If I have to write another program in COBOL I will chew my own hands off at the wrist!

COBOL

The most commonly used application programming language used by business. Runs the worlds businesses. Sorry - JAVA can't do what COBOL can!!!!

Look at: Caterpillar, State Farm, Metavante, Sallie Mae just to name a few companies - they are all big COBOL shops
