They're gonna use AI to write it, and it's gonna be exactly what you expect
- The banks still use COBOL, let's have grok rewrite their software too
  
  My father-in-law is one of the last COBOL experts. Before he retired he spent 15 years training 3 people in COBOL so the business he worked for would not collapse. COBOL is irreplaceable and it is not being taught in any school in the USA.
