"New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy has put out a call for volunteers
who know how to code the decades-old computer programming language
called COBOL because many of the state's systems still run on older mainframes."
Good, so Ada still have hope then.
All what we need then is a way to start a third world war, and then the
defense department will make similar call hiring all the Ada programmers it
can find to update the old Ada software used in 80's to build the software
which guides those warheads in the skies.
