Every day I swear I’m going to throw in the towel and go back to COBOL.

I’m 63. I loved COBOL and was darned good at it. Unfortunately, it is like being a good Model T mechanic.

We still have COBOL and C (not C++) programs that have to be modded. There is still a lot of COBOL out there and they are writing more.
My last job was converting a Client-Server system back to COBOL/CICS/IDMS due to performance issues.
Every programmer in India is required to learn COBOL.

I'm 49 and programmed in Cobol for about 20 years (though I also did a lot of C programming too).

Now I use things like C# and Powershell and SQL. All in all... I preferred Cobol and C. I could do anything with that combination.
