Several weeks ago, while working on JavaRebel AI Module, we accidentally gave it access to our web server. Before we found out it rewritten all of our blog platform in COBOL. We are not sure where did it learn to program that, but when we tried the new platform, it was excellent. Not only is it a SOA-based RIA, but it’s fully written using REST, JSON and CAPS.

In fact it is now our firm belief that with technologies like that COBOL will make a return and become the language of choice for web development. I mean who needs local variables, recursion, dynamic memory allocation, or structured programming constructs when we have a language that reads like plain English. All the real programmers know, how important is to have code that reads well, and our new blog platform provides twice the scalability of Java on half the hardware to boot.
