My last COBOL work was in a bank that replaced COBOL with Java and minicomputers with the indies servers in a misguided effort to modernize. Before that we had five mainframe programmers, after Java we had a dozen more and no one was really sure how many layers that Java onion had. People kept piling abstractions on it in another misguided effort to make it simple.
