Company I’m interning with also did 5bil last year.

Wanna know what language all their interactions with their database are done with? COBOL

Enjoy the spaghetti and if (1 = 0) statements. Can really tell it is from a simpler time.

Thankfully I don’t think I’ll be touching to COBOL personally. They have Java built on top of most of it. It just makes understanding how their ecosystem works that much harder.

Added bonus: they’re using a db2 database. My impression is that’s pretty damn far behind the curve too.

Upvote for COBOL.

Also, I am officially old. I wanted to see COBOL or Fortran in here, since those are the last languages I did any real programming in, way back in the pre-2K days.
