When the worst case is to lose your job and never deal with the legacy code again.

Try opencobol. You may have more success.

Some cobols like rm COBOL require a literal custom Linux header in order to work with SQL. Others work with odbcs natively.

Its exceptionally good at federation and has a unique(?) solution to multiple like communities (Topics). Topics can be lemmy communities, but can also be peertube channels. Example: https://piefed.social/topic/wholesome

It also has anonymous downvoting so you don’t have the issue like lemmy where admins know exactly how everyone votes across all of lemmy.

Some people care, most don’t. Lemmy.world is the vanilla ice cream of the fediverse. Thanks for being part of the community!

It might be my area. Most COBOL infa got replaced or is on life support. But I did happen to see the good stuff once in a while. There’s a reason it was not touched.

A small part of me thinks it might be the place to retire. Working on old code bases.

The biggest thing is content and discoverability.

Any good channel recommendations?
