I took a course in COBOL in college and also C++. C++ was by far more
difficult to pick up. COBOL was just too wordy for me. I hated writing
term papers and that is kinda what in reminded me of.

Never took a course in cobol, but used to help students debug their code
at the computer center. Wordy is an understatement.

It seemed they needed about a page of code to get the title up.

At the time, I liked fortran. But it's been years since I had time to
write my own software.
