With the coming of the internet and the need to support object-oriented design, we have moved to a newer, more advanced syntax. Business in the 21st century, ladies and gentlemen, is conducted using ADD-ONE-TO-COBOL.
The syntax and logic of the language isn't the difficult part. It's the conventions and patterns used in COBOL that feel very foreign in comparison to modern languages and practices.
some versions of Fortran don't allow recursion. i honestly don't know when i last used recursion professionally, but that's neither here nor there. you're right! coding without some of the academic patterns you might know already will come with certain painful adjustments!
