Compiled to COBOL!
I never thought that COBOL was similar to Java or JavaScript, but what do I know? Wow, COBOL for the web. The last time I used COBOL was back in 1982 on a Sperry-Univac 90/40 machine with a whopping one megabyte of memory supporting 32 terminals.
Maybe EGL will finally live up to the goal of programs that can be written by a grocery clerk and read by a manager.
Or maybe not.
