A COBOL programmer, tired of the bug chaos in the legacy codebase, decides to have themselves cryogenically frozen to skip the whole mess. Years later, they're thawed out.
"Did I sleep through?" they ask.
"It's the year 9999," the scientists replied, "And we need you to fix some legacy code from 2000, which is still in production ."
@nixCraft people should have seen the red flags when the name of the language contained the words "business oriented." As if the the language's use-case wouldn't immediately become antiquated in an industry full of fresh, gullible MBAs looking for the next big """"""disruptive"""""" strategy. I imagine adoption rate was high, because you can sell them just about anything you can slap the word "business" on to.
