yeah, it's an awful language but i guess if you know it, nobody wants to learn it and dumbass banks don't spend the money on upgrades and actually

they are probably wise to not upgrade

i'm literally in the middle of learning how to use a smart contract language that has super severe guards on doing dumbshit and cobol also made it hard to do dumbshit so ... idk... these days you can probably make good money doing financial programming with Move, it's pretty good, but it realy is like cobol shrank down a bit and using Go semantics and Rust syntax
