But the applications which matter most for you and me aren't even installed on our PCs but in various industries, among which the one industry which runs the highest number of applications is the bank; and their applications are mostly written in COBOL, and you can trust them. I would change bank if I learned they were managing my account in PHP of Bash.

I worked in insurance in an IBM house and IBM is big on Java, still. They’ve been big on porting a lot of cobol code to Java. I M has written tools to port over Cobol code. They don’t work, but they’re trying.

Our policy management system called Point-in-C is now Point-in-Java.
