Rainy day, ClearCase update.
Dormant CPU.
Zen moment – watching paint dry.

JaBOL – the language that really took off

Javaâ„¢ isn’t really the success we think it is, you know.
Java programs written the way Gosling et al originally intended would clearly be using the object-oriented paradigm (sure, they’d be applets in a browser, but that’s another story).
What happens when the COBOL crowd (of which I was one) gets their working-storage sections and procedure divisions pulled from under their feet and replaced with interfaces and immutable objects?
What we have, ladies and gentlemen, is a fantastic volume of COBOL programs re-written using Java syntax but with few of those pesky OO semantics.
Look out for RuBOL – the next big thing, where you can MOVE SPACES TO boolean just like in the good ol’ days.
