COMMON BUSINESS ORIENTED LANGUAGE
WAS INVENTED BY A WOMAN, WHICH IS PART OF THE PROBLEM (THE OTHER PART BEING THAT IT IS STILL GENERALLY TYPED IN ALL CAPS).
ALL PEOPLE WHO CAN WOULD WORK WITH COBOL ARE DEAD. COBOL IS A LONG AND SHITTY LANGUAGE WHICH IS ENTIRELY TOO VERBOSE. WITH ABOUT 5 LINES OF C OR C++, YOU COULD EASILY DO WHAT A 100 LINE PROGRAM IN COBOL CAN DO.
THE BASIC HELLO WORLD PROGRAM IS AS FOLLOWS:
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
*THIS IS A COMMENT. PERIODS (BESIDES COMMENTS) DENOTE END OF STATEMENT.
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. HELLO WORLD.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
INPUT-OUTPUT SECTION.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAINLINE.
DISPLAY "HELLO WORLD".
END-RUN.
...AND JUST THINK, THAT'S ONLY TO DISPLAY HELLO WORLD...
