I swear to god, companies are nowadays just picking the solution with the most buzzwords. Any compiler engineering student knows how to write a transpiler from one language to another, while getting this right is a cumbersome task, it still completly automated afterwards. Just hire a few compiler engineering phds and the job is done in at least half a year.

Look what i found after a quick google search:

• https://github.com/patrickp89/actojat
• https://github.com/opensourcecobol/opensourcecobol4j
• https://github.com/opensourcecobol/opensource-cobol

I thought everyone kind of knew this. And then the PCMag article dropped.

The more important a job is, the less paid the work is. Conversely, the more bullshit the job is, the more pay there is.

In my experiemce, Java shoots processing usage up while COBOL uses much lesser CPU / memory
