    I don’t think that they’re using COBOL. Isn’t that more finance oriented, or am I mistaken?

    I’m on an airline currently and network too shit to Google properly. Please excuse.

      Yes, I mean it’s used for transactions in the programming sense of the word. Turns out financial transactions require that as well. I assume the same goes for nuclear stuff. There is just very little risk to come across uncertainties when the language is that old (and the people who use it hehe - tbf it pays super well).

      Edit: at least to my very limited knowledge
