Por qué es IMPOSIBLE matar a COBOL

Why do 80% of the world's banking transactions still rely on a 1959 programming language? In this video, we explore the incredible story of COBOL, the language the academic elite tried to ban, but which is now, quite literally, impossible to kill. From the revolutionary vision of Grace Hopper (the woman who "hunted" the first bug in history) to the fierce criticism of Edsger Dijkstra, who went so far as to say that using COBOL "rots the mind," we discover why this "outdated" code is the invisible foundation of the global economy. What will you discover in this video? The true story of COBOL's creation and Grace Hopper's legacy. Why Dijkstra and academia hated this language (and why they were wrong). Real-life examples of banking disasters when trying to retire mainframes (TSB, IRS, and more). The crisis of COBOL programmers: an endangered species earning fortunes. Why migrating to modern languages ​​like Java or Python isn't as easy as it seems. If you've ever wondered what happens when you use your credit card or why banks seem stuck in time, the answer lies in these lines of code from over 60 years ago.
