  1. With some help from the SZE community, I can now log my service uptime and latency in #Db2 using #Golang !

    I've got a service called CompInvZ which links into my Db2Z host to find services, then it periodically tries to connect and records the result back to DB2

    A friend of mine took it a step further and is using #ISPF to interact with Db2 via #REXX

    That means #CICS is next on the list, thanks #Walmart !

  2. @bunnyhero I FINALLY have a wayland client of my language agnostic gui cloud(or local) app Here are some post run snapshots, an #altair simulator with basic loaded and running a small graph program, 3 calculators from my rosetta code stuff #cobol, #python and #SED(yes sed) These all run insanely fast because they don't have any layers of slow sht in the way.

  3. Mind blown. You can run IBM #zos on a PC with a personal edition license.

    And it has IBM #COBOL inside it. I don't understand why this was so hard for me to find. Looks like I need a new machine (linux host, 1tb drive space and then enough oomph to run a VM)

  4. @Sheep_Overboard I am going to have to object. I work for mainframes, and our host code is 98% COBOL, it's very fast and reliable. A lot faster than Java, C, C++ etc. According to a 2022 study there are 800 billion lines of COBOL in use on a regular basis. I admit, I write z/OS assembler, and am a bit biased, but COBOL is still incredibly popular.

    "According to surveys by Micro Focus (2022), around 800 billion lines of COBOL code are used in production every day."
