gcobol-17 performane work: "ADD 1 TO A." challenge. Why? Many possible data formats for A (encoding, sign, decimal positions, alphameric formatted, ...).
FREE Support Services for First Customer! Low rates for first Professional Services (consulting) engagement! Just sayin'
@jspath55 The relevant #COBOL candidate is in India or has moved to Florida or Arizona.
There is a gnucobol cics clone now, so in principal people could learn this for free.
IT Specialist positions are being filled through the Office of Personnel Management's delegated Direct Hire Authority, open to all U.S. citizens.

COBOL: i'm actually studying it.
Using COBOL As A Shader Language
Yep, what's in the title apparently can be done.
COBOL stands for Common Business-Oriented Language, and is an extremely verbose language designed purposely to be understandable to managers. Everything in COBOL reads like it does, which makes it hard to work with. A fair portion of the financial world still runs on COBOL, in some ca

Paying a monthly subscription just to emulate a 1970s green-screen terminal is absurd. So I built my own. Meet X3270: A free, native macOS TN3270/TN3270E emulator.
Built from scratch in pure C++ and Cocoa. No Java. No X11. No Electron bloat. It has implicit TLS 1.2+ via OpenSSL and full ISPF Query Reply support.
Free and open-source forever. Read the architecture breakdown on my blog: https://www.dockerr.blog/blog/modern-free-TN3270-terminal-client-for-mac-free

Dass sich der Mann für Schiffe interessiert hat den Wunsch deutlich bestärkt.
