I've been a COBOL programmer for 15 years. If anybody has a question about it, let me know.

COBOL is a programming language, where u use syntax like this:

buttor red 15 19 transparen 1 0 blue

i'm not sayint that this syntax will realy work, but main idea is that, thuis syntax could paint button with size 15 x 19 transparental from top left to bottom right with a blue color.
NOTICE. This is just example, i remember ir from REBOL, its the same language (plain english) but as i understand- free and has mysql support, and could be replacement for php interpreter :)

Yeah, COBOL was invented with the intent on making it look pretty to make it easier to sell to business owners. This worked, and is a reason it's still around, and a reason for the many flaws and annoyances it has.

COBOL is a "different" language, not any way like C/PHP/Javascript which are what I am used to work with.

And it looks hard too.
