Yes, I’d like to see Pete writing a new mobile app with COBOL, that would be pretty fun.
Or showing to the users his new black&green screen done with Natural (to give another example) instead of a web page…
TBH I agree with the article, it’s absurd to rewrite an application with another framework or language because someone says it’s better… But it’s also true that is not a bad idea to use new frameworks, language versions or even new languages to make a new product. Why not?..
Pete won’t be working in the company forever… someday he’ll retire!
