We’re pretty excited. The feedback from #GCC is that 15 is super close to being ready to put in the can. Of course there’s all that documentation and publicity stuff to do then but days/weeks.

I've always wanted to learn #COBOL but have zero professional reasons and no extra time for it. But I definitely wouldn't blast out ignorant comments about a programming language I don't understand.
