Dr.Leon Kappelman, professor of Information Technology at the University of North Texas told the Wall Street Journal: “Four years ago, local Fortune 500 employers encouraged the university to offer Cobol courses. Now, graduates who take Cobol electives earn starting salaries of $75,000 compared to starting salaries of $62,500 for those who did not.”
One article by notable software engineer Robert L. Glass explains that COBOL does the 4 essential business tasks better than most modern languages today:
The capability for heterogenous “record-structure” data
The capability for decimal arithmetic
The capability for convenient report generation
The capability for accessing and manipulating masses of data (typically made up of heterogeneous data structure).
Grace Hopper, the mother of COBOL, helped champion the creation of this brand new programming language that aimed to function across all business systems, saving an immense amount of time and money. Hopper was also the first to believe that programming languages should read just like English instead of computer jargon. Hence why COBOL’s syntax is so wordy. But it helped humanize the computing process for businesses during an era when computing was intensive and prevalent only in research facilities.
