nixCraft 🐧I recently saw an IBM presentation on how AI will help eliminate COBOL once and for all. Basically, they are trying to sell a tool that uses their WatsonX cloud service to convert COBOL to Java with the help of the current buzzword named generative AI. Let me tell you, COBOL has outlasted most of the tech that was invented since 1965 and I think it will outlast generative AI, too.
Meanwhile, kids are asking on other social media why not use NodeJS instead of Java. Good god, we are doomed, aren't we?
Radio Azureus@nixCraft If you didn't write a meme...
The inability to distinguish between totally different systems means:
They don't know 'man command'
They are inept to use DuckDuckGo
They can't write a 'hello world' in a new language
When all programmers of current languages are gone, they will become COBOLized

That said, you will end up with fewer new languages and frameworks that came from someone not liking a syntax and having time to kill. :p
