I’m not 100% sure, but I think JimRob wrote FR software with PERL.

“If you’re a COBOL programmer, chances are good you can land a job at a major institution that’s maintained a COBOL codebase since before you were born.”
Learned COBOL and some mathematical programming language in the early Seventies.
COBOL reminds me of Medieval architecture...

I learned C+, COBOL, Assembler, Fortran-77.
Where is the the tech analog to the Rosetta Stone?

Verilog! I made a good living with that.

I learned programming in college using Basic and Fortran. I also learned using punch cards. Yes, I am old. I probably can’t get any programming jobs.

Pascal, Forth, APL. I don’t hear much about LISP anymore, or Smalltalk.

I have coded in the last four while my wife uses R, the first.
Perl works very well and it's easy to learn. COBOL is easy, too, but I preferred PL/1, which was very much like Pascal.
R and Perl will be staying around a while. COBOL was supposed to be out the door years ago, but it's still plugging away since Y2K gave it attention.
Objective-C seems the most likely to ease out the door. It was made for the NeXT computer, which is where I worked with it.
This article brings back good memories.

I wish PERL would go away, but it never does.

I see PERL on there... what about any sort of batch files? Hell, even in my Windows machines I script things in BASIC, put them in a CRON job, and let it run.

shortage of COBOL programmers means that such positions can provide quite a comfortable salary (the Dice Salary Calculator suggests $79,000 per year isn’t out of the question in California). $79K being "comfortable" in California? In the cities that most likely have the institutions needing COBOL coding?
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

PERL huh? I write it every day, even today. (Data processing with no GUI. Reformatting data, slapping it into a database, and generating reports.) There’s also Python (for NEW development), and BASH to run things.
I was learning BASIC in high school, and teaching myself 6502 assembly language at night.
To: SeekAndFind
I used something called FORMAC which was a superset of PL/1 and compiled on the PL/1 optimizing compiler. I can’t find it anywhere now. I was looking for an implementation that would run on a PC... or at least on something that would run on a mainframe emulator... I think the emulator is called Hercules.
