I've been a COBOL programmer for 15 years. If anybody has a question about it, let me know.

COBOL is a programming language, where u use syntax like this:

buttor red 15 19 transparen 1 0 blue

i'm not sayint that this syntax will realy work, but main idea is that, thuis syntax could paint button with size 15 x 19 transparental from top left to bottom right with a blue color.
NOTICE. This is just example, i remember ir from REBOL, its the same language (plain english) but as i understand- free and has mysql support, and could be replacement for php interpreter

Yeah, COBOL was invented with the intent on making it look pretty to make it easier to sell to business owners. This worked, and is a reason it's still around, and a reason for the many flaws and annoyances it has.

COBOL is a "different" language, not any way like C/PHP/Javascript which are what I am used to work with.

And it looks hard too.
