Hi, guys
For years people, mostly academics, have been talking about COBOL's death. Finally, I came accross an article more realistic and from someone inside the business world which say what we all should be aware. COBOL is not dying?
Do you have news like this to share?
Regards,

Every installation is different; in some cobol is going away, and in others it will never go away.

I think it dependes on the business area and if the system started being developed in COBOL.
I'm not sure if new companies today would be using COBOL or even considering it, but some companies are converting other systems to their COBOL system.

Check this out. It point to a good article.
