Benefits of COBOL Development

Since its inception in 1959, COBOL has undergone significant evolution, incorporating various enhancements in code writing. Although the development of the language was halted in 2014, it remains in demand and continues to be relevant until software is ready to transition to a new alternative. Below, we explore the benefits of this enduring programming language.

Global Business Language

COBOL continues to be a key player in industries such as fintech, healthcare, retail, and automotive, effectively addressing software challenges. Major corporations, including IBM, Bank of America, and JPMorgan Chase, still rely on this language for their business computing needs.

Easy Readability

With a focus on immense understandability, the design philosophy of COBOL makes it straightforward for developers to grasp its syntax. The language avoids complex constructs such as pointers, functions, and user-defined data types, ensuring that its fundamentals are accessible.

Seamless Integration

COBOL offers excellent compatibility with modern architectures and advanced technologies, including Java, C#, and Docker containers. It operates smoothly on .NET and JVM, allowing for seamless interoperability with cloud environments like Azure and AWS.
