Java is the New COBO…ZAP!

What do COBOL programmers think when they get on The Internets and read that Java is the New COBOL?

Damn…take a close look at those death rays…

Oh snap! There can be only one! (COBOL)
Ruby’s not going anywhere! I mean, it’s going somewhere, er, yeah.
BTW Ruby’s death rays are like 20x more powerful than Java’s, I mean COBOL’s.
LOLOL!!11!
sorry Dan, not funny
Also, pink is the new black.
God, I miss Tuxedo .
Funny, pretty funny!
Java is the new Cobol and Ruby is the new Pascal and Python is the new Lisp. I am sure about that.
Anybody crack (this part of) the code?
well eric.. there is a pun for Galactica right?
The premise is flawed, cobol programmers don’t get on the internet because they barely know how to use pc’s; and if they do, they work at large financial companies that don’t allow them access to the internet. What would a cobol programmer find on the internet to aid their work? Answer: nothing. When was the last time you saw a cobol tutorial?
Yes, yes yes…the first draft said something like…”We’re all lucky COBOL programmers don’t know how to use the Internets. They’d be pretty pissed to know how we talk about them…”
So has anyone cracked this part of the code yet???
> Ruby is the new Pascal and Python is the new Lisp.
You got that the wrong way around.
Or vice-versa.
for this part of the code.. I got something very wrong (I’m sure)
I get these words:
Swing development switching when frequently easier from
Which could be rearranged to:
development frequently easier when switching from Swing
kind of funny though
