COBOL wants to find out just how popular it is

  4 71 0.0 COBOL

  A perceptron written in COBOL

I used to work in a bank with people that came from mainframes. They use to talk about Cobol and how it was a well paid job, cause of the lack of programmers.

As a way of learning the language I end up writing a perceptron in it [1]. It was a fun exercise.

  71 7,355 3.9 C

  A Super Mario 64 decompilation, brought to you by a bunch of clever folks.

  

It sounds like, rather than a ground-up rewrite, COBOL should be treated as an object-code language, and "hand-decompiled" (ala efforts like https://github.com/n64decomp/sm64) into an HLL that can, at every point, be losslessly transpiled back into the original COBOL.

I know the tooling for doing that doesn't currently exist... but paying someone to develop it would be cheaper than any one of these ground-up rewrite projects!

  Shelob of Cirith Ungol

I ported gnucobol to webasm to inflict pain on future generations of programmers.

Ncurses with vt100 emulation kinda works. But it's timing is garbage and text input is funny.
