I've write a lot of Python code over the past 15 years.  I only made
one attempt at a COBOL program.  It was using punch cards and a
card-reader connected to a remote mainframe via a 2400 baud link. That
was not fun.

I'm not sure what your point is, though.

COBOL may be an ugly, icky, language, but you must admit it is
_practical_.  It can be used to get real work done.
