I thought python has kinda exploded lately…

Openstreetmaps is an awesome setup just saying ;)

Try opencobol. You may have more success.

Some cobols like rm COBOL require a literal custom Linux header in order to work with SQL. Others work with odbcs natively.

It might be my area. Most COBOL infa got replaced or is on life support. But I did happen to see the good stuff once in a while. There’s a reason it was not touched.

A small part of me thinks it might be the place to retire. Working on old code bases.

I used to work with COBOL. The language isn’t terrible, it’s the 40+ years of no context changes that suck. It even works with SQL… although the most common configuration is using a flat file.

Jerobs is awesome!!
