Can you design and develop a game in COBOL?

One provider of enterprise testing and management solutions, Micro Focus, firmly believes that COBOL is a skillset employers in the business sphere are looking for. In a blog entry entitled 'COBOL: the language for future generations' it admits that "learning older programming languages such as COBOL as well as more modern languages is something few, within today’s generation, consider" yet maintains "the language is present within 85 percent of the world’s business applications, and it’s place in behind the scenes business software is as prominent as ever. COBOL is woven far too deeply into the business world to simply tear out and throw away. The world would be a very different place. Without it in many situations, communications around the world would collapse."
