    At Uni doing CompSci in the mid 1980s, we were told the likes of Cobol was dead, and we were taught Pascal :)

      Cobol is dead.

      And I think it’s about time to start telling people Java and Perl are dead, so they can marvel at how much Cobol and Java and Perl are still doing in production after death.

      They could probably tweak Watson to turn Cobol into Pascal.
