    Runs your banking, healthcare, aviation and probably government systems as well I think also UK train systems. IBMs glorious mainframe system that so alien to current computer conventions you'd think it came from another planet. Bundled with glorious IBM scented Cobol the finest language ever made

    Is that where the "learn Cobol for the banking industry, you'll earn zillions" meme comes from? (in my experience the few Cobol people I met were only as well paid as the next bigcorp IT drone, and much less than the workers at fancystartup.io)
