? However over many years I grew
? to appreciate its strengths in several areas: 1) excellent file handling
? capabilities, unmatched by any other language I've encountered
? 2) excellent self-documenting characteristics due to its English-like
? verbosity.
I keep telling people that COBOL is a better language than FORTRAN.
Add to that list 3) good data structuring and 4) nice formatting.
