How do you usually explain the importance of COBOL to someone from a non-mainframe background?

Post by Akshya Chopra »

Hi,

Non-tech folks often ask why COBOL still matters in 2025. Do you usually highlight its reliability, the systems it powers, or real-world examples (like ATMs and payroll)? What’s your quick way of making the point?
