  2. Somewhere, right now, a developer is sorting 400 COBOL cards off a computer room floor after a late night of keying. Nobody wants to look at it. Nobody cares.

    But we do.

    Announcing code review for Punch Cards, powered by Review Board.

  3. Hilarious sentence from Josh Tyrangiel in an essay for the March Atlantic:

    “Mainframes are like Christopher Walken: They’ve been going nonstop since the 1960s, they’re fantastic at performing peculiar roles (processing payment payments, safeguarding data), and nobody alive really understands how they work.”

  4. @don_atoms And, in our opinion, the most important radical act of our era is giving a top-tiier Open Source #COBOL compiler (#GCC COBOL) to those who need help with the hundreds of billions of lines of COBOL source trapped on #mainframes. Giving control of the tool to those who need it. #cobolworx

  7. There is now a hardcover edition of LISP from Nothing, because some people asked. See t3x.org/lfn/
    Nothing new inside, just a hardcover version of the same book about minimal LISP and LISP in the age of mainframe computers.
