Fifty years passed COBOL language
COBOL (common business oriented language, the language is also known as enterprise management, data-processing language, Common Business Oriented Langauge) is one of the first high-level programming languages, and is also the first commercial language, it began developing in 1959, official Published in April 1960, today has gone through 50 years.
Professor at the University of Limerick Michael Coughlan said, COBOL is one of the greatest shortcomings of the lengthy, but at the same time this is also the advantage of it, "It not only can write strong, and after many years you can still easily understand the meaning of these codes."
Market research firm Forrester Research Mike Gilpin staff also agrees with that, "COBOL in the past 50 years a small number of highly readable language, one of many popular languages is very difficult to understand, such as PHP, Java."
Although this ancient, but in the current COBOL business still occupies an important seat Micro Foucus software vendor in charge of David Stephenson said: "The British trading company listed on the process by the use of 70-80% is still based on COBOL."
Obviously, COBOL in the past 50 years have not been standing still, keep it to integrate the popular programming language, continuous exploration and improvement of a year ago, IBM will upgrade its enterprise-level COBOL to the 4.1 version, and this a development still continues.
IBM Software Group in charge of publishing and strategy Charles Chu believes that "old" is not necessarily bad, "enterprises in innovation, but the world's 250 billion line of COBOL code still can be a job well done, companies have reason to replace the normal work of the system? - 18780
