Oh damn, the aspirations of COBOL on Cogs are now a reality?

I call shotgun on "Why You Should Use COBOL on Wheelchair Instead of Ruby on Rails For Your Startup".

Introducing the CRAP (COBOL-RPG-Apache-PL/SQL) stack. Consulting available and a book on the way.

If it is web scale and helps me pivot faster, I'm all for it.

Love the logo & name.

Whatever the downsides are, I'm guessing memory leaks aren't among them :-)

(given that the DATA DIVISION is fixed size, unless there are significant GNU extensions)

"The Tao gave birth to machine language. Machine language gave birth to the assembler.

The assembler gave birth to the compiler. Now there are ten thousand languages.

Each language has its purpose, however humble. Each language expresses the Yin and Yang of software. Each language has its place within the Tao.

But do not program in COBOL if you can avoid it."

but very nice graphics )

The logo was done in the font Glass Tty VT220 -- which, fyi, also makes a very nice terminal font for your command line. (In fact, I have yet to see anything that matches it.)

Though I get the name, I wish it was named something other "on wheelchair". It feels a little degrading. Other than this, it's a nice conceptual work.
