Could it be? COBOL is 50 years old? That's right. It's been 50 years since May 28, 1959, when  the first meeting of the committee that would develop the COBOL language convened. Since then, according to estimates, 60-80 percent of the world's enterprises still rely on COBOL to run their business. There are over 200 billion lines of COBOL currently in operation globally across every industry, and the language supports over 30 billion transactions per day.
