There are 220bn lines of COBOL code in use today (1.5bn new lines/year). COBOL is the foundation of 43% of all banking systems. Such systems handle $3 trillion of daily commerce. COBOL handles 95% of all ATM card-swipes, 80% of all in-person credit card transactions.

My comment in nostr:npub1pumn9x5j9je56c6jxhyh6m7zhxuj3pgu5a8axva9t8c0sz8f8nhsg9a8vt about sabotage disrupting railways in Poland. Radio emission brings trains to a halt in several places. Who's behind unclear. Executing this sabotage is technically simple (I explain), though requires proximity. Solution: move to GSM-R.
