Looks like a nice product to me. I would guess the smiley means you don't really know COBOL very well??? Remember that in the Ada community we should be especially careful not to dismiss other languages without knowing anything about them :-) There are many features of COBOL that are very attractive, even by Ada standards (dynamic instead of static binding of subprograms for example - sounds like just the thing for web based programming).

Yes, indeed. The COBOL version of a case statement is still the most elegant design of multiway selection I have seen in any language. Also, COBOL has adopted some ideas from Ada, although the COBOL users don' realize it. As for the cobolscript product, it looks interesting. In fact, it is something that could be done in almost any language. From what I can see, it extends COBOL to generate html scripts through new variations of the DISPLAY verb.

It builds on the foundations of COBOL and leverages business logic and existing skill sets. As you say, the same could probably be done by an ADA vendor. If someone were to capitalize on the existing base of ADA code they too could have a sizeable market.
