COBOL IBM

面向商业的通用语言COBOL诞生于1959年，正式发布于1960年4月，今年是它的知天命之年，程序语言世界是新人辈出，但这位老朽却依旧健壮无比，仍然肩负重任。

软件供应商Micro Focus的英国主管David Stephenson称，英国上市公司中管理商业交易的程序有70%到80%仍然是基于COBOL。Stephenson的公司在向现有Cobol系统提供管理工具方面扮演着重要角色。

市场研究公司Forrester的Mike Gilpin称，该公司最近的相关调查显示，32%的企业表示仍在使用COBOL去进行开发或提供维护。其中多数都与IBM的产品有关，IBM的软件产品交付和策略主管Charles Chu称，他不认为“遗留”是一个贬义词。他说，“商业在不断进化，但250bn行Cobol代码工作良好，那么为什么企业要在工作良好时去替换系统？”

我又说它需要跑在服务器上面吗？看清楚了。

有时候修改cobol的代码的时候会碰到比我年纪还大的程序，心里不由得感慨万分，你丫的在我出生前就已经在世了啊。
