California is very lucky it's payroll system is written in COBOL.
COBOL stands the test of time - and - if it was written in something else, nobody would get paid.
There are plenty of COBOL programmers out there. The problem is the new programmers that work for the State government can't think in COBOL anymore. Read a file - write a record. How hard is it?
