转载新闻 COBOL语言50岁,仍担负重任

面向商业的通用语言COBOL诞生于1959年,正式发布于1960年4月,今年是它的知天命之年,程序语言世界是新人辈出,但这位老朽却依旧健壮无比,仍然肩负重任。

软件供应商Micro Focus的英国主管David Stephenson称,英国上市公司中管理商业交易的程序有70%到80%仍然是基于COBOL。Stephenson的公司在向现有Cobol系统提供管理工具方面扮演着重要角色。

市场研究公司Forrester的Mike Gilpin称,该公司最近的相关调查显示,32%的企业表示仍在使用COBOL去进行开发或提供维护。其中多数都与IBM的产品有关,IBM的软件产品交付和策略主管Charles Chu称,他不认为“遗留”是一个贬义词。他说,“商业在不断进化,但250bn行Cobol代码工作良好,那么为什么企业要在工作良好时去替换系统?”

night_stalker 写道引用    According to Michael Coughlan, a lecturer at the University of Limerick, one of Cobol's perceived drawbacks is its verbosity. But he reckons that's also one of its strengths. "It's not just a write-only language," he says. "You can come back years later and understand the code."    This opinion is shared by Mike Gilpin, of Forrester, who is an ex-Cobol programmer. "Cobol is one of the few languages written in the last 50 years that's readable and understandable," he says. And he's scathing about the readability of more fashionable languages, such as PHP and Java: "Modern programming languages are ridiculously hard to understand." 我们公司也在用,说它可读性好的人只是因为太熟悉cobol语言吧,我还是觉得java可读性比它高,不过运行cobol的平台稳定性真是没的说,绝对比weblogic、websphere等服务器高得多。COBOL不用在服务器上跑吧。

我又说它需要跑在服务器上面吗?看清楚了。

有时候修改cobol的代码的时候会碰到比我年纪还大的程序,心里不由得感慨万分,你丫的在我出生前就已经在世了啊。
