My IT department is 95% Indian. Not one of them works with COBOL. They do not want to go near a COBOL application. I am in the process of converting all COBOL programs to Oracle PL/SQL. They have Linux here and I have workd on shell scripts as well. COBOL - and IBM JCL - is/was a good foundation.

I just moved a Linux script to Production. I’m writing a ton of those things. It reminds me a bit of WFL on the old Burroughs mainframes.

The irony here is they can pronounce COBOL and not Jawa.
