HN is a place where everyone is, so it's reasonable to assume that some Cobol devs may also lurk here.

Everyone except most developers I know.

  • This is oddly true in my experience. I ask people where they get their information from and the channels are generally a lot more sparse than topics posted to HN.

    If I were to venture to guess: I'd say "most developers" seek work-life balance and aren't interested in reading long-form articles on how to do X or Y when they are off the clock.

Shout out to all the MUMPS programmers out there reading HN. May your code always be healthy.

  • There's more MUMPS programming going around than many people believe, especially in financials...

    Including new development.
