Is COBOL Still Relevant and Worth Learning?

Definitely! COBOL was revolutionary in its time and has its place even now. They say it's the original coding language with style, haha! And for what it's worth, I think it has its charms and practical uses if you need to maintain legacy systems.

With about 65 billion lines of COBOL code still in use, having a basic understanding of it is pretty important. It’s designed for specific tasks and actually has a surprisingly nice and understandable main section. I sometimes wish for a modernized version that simplifies some of its complexities, but I have to admit, I've enjoyed using it over the years.

I occasionally work with COBOL, and it's definitely still relevant! It's not COBOL itself that's tricky; it's often the architecture and systems built around it that can be challenging.
