Serene 🦇#cobol #mainframe programming is insane, ha. Less really because of the language, and more because of the wild environment. This is old, yeah, but it seems very similar to modern ways. #retrocomputing
Arcane Roops@s0ftwave1662 I love the way the whole setup was very efficient on space and bandwidth. You could make many updates on screen, or just one, but however many there were, they were only transmitted to the mainframe (causing an interrupt) in one batch when you hit <Enter> or a PFkey. And they had edit session recovery long before I saw anything similar on PC editors :-)
