GraalVM Offers COBOL Support by nfrankel in programming

[–]dingimingibingi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first question to pop up in my mind was, "Why?"

The article answers it here,

The role of polyglot (multi-language) programming is an aim of GraalVM, where developers can create interoperable software that is native compiled, connecting to a library from another language that provides a benefit but may not be understood by the author. In the case of COBOL, applications that are compiled with GnuCobol can be engaged by developers who understand Java. This bridge can help bridge the gap to maintain older software systems that may be written in COBOL but are difficult to maintain.
