The .NET team invited us to show the Otterkit project on a livestream, and to talk about how we plan to make a COBOL compiler for .NET. We hope to help improve the COBOL ecosystem and help change the language's "outdated and not suitable for modern
development" reputation, because it is much more capable and powerful than most people realize.

Modern COBOL with the 2023 standard is a very powerful and capable language that can do so much more than just legacy banking and financial systems.

Specially with its OOP syntax using generics, auto-implemented properties, method overloading, type safety, together with its excellent error and exception handling and overall how reliable the language is.

This is a very interesting discussion. I am enjoying it. Thank you for being part of the COBOL track team for Exercism. It was a pleasure working with you.
