I was a FORTRAN and ASSY programmer - retired now. Funniest piece of code I ever debugged had a comment, “You should never get here”

“I learned BASIC, COBOL, RPG back in 1975.”

Me too. Same time. You forgot Fortran. My first programming job was Weiland DDA checking account software in Assembly language. I could have gotten filthy rich if I’d wanted to. Assembly language would melt basement dwellers minds these days. Especially the hex dumps.

I learned BASIC, COBOL, RPG back in 1975.

I started teaching those three along with C, fortran, pascal, 8080 series assembler, from 1979 thru 1988 at the 2 year college night courses. Churned out a lot of COBOL programmers in those years.
