Well then maybe we shouldn't have banked the entire global financial system on proprietary software from one of the shadiest corpos on earth, huh?

You mean COBOL? Cause pretty much every bank out there still has shit built with it.

Banks have moved a considerable amount of code out of COBOL for maintainability.

That's good to hear, last time I dealt with it was just a few years ago and major banks still had shit written in the language.

I meant Excel, but COBOL is another really good example
