COBOL is obsolete in the same way that VHS tapes, the Latin language, and muzzle loaded rilfes are obsolete. Of course it's still widely in use, and still works the way it was originally intended, just like all those other things.
The point remains that there is wisdom in not re-writing an entire application for no other reason than to change the language.
Those who understand this still have COBOL applications working well today.
Those who don't understand it waste time and money re-inventing the wheel. :hehe:
