The problem I have with all Cobol translation models is that it completely ignores the actual modernization of the system. You've traded one type of syntactic sugar with another.

- mike_hearn 10mo agoI think they mean that "COBOL" is often used as a synonym for old mainframe based software. The language isn't the biggest issue with such systems, usually. Any programmer can learn COBOL, just translating one syntax to another doesn't buy you much. It's also about the hardware the stuff runs on, the database systems, the job schedulers, etc.
