Ukwenyuka okukhulu kwezicelo zezinzuzo zokungasebenzi e-United States, okwenzeka ngenxa yobhadane lwe-COVID-19, kubhidlize ngokoqobo umsebenzi wezinsizakalo zikahulumeni zokuphepha komphakathi ezweni. Inkinga ukuthi empeleni ngolwazi lolimi lwakudala lokuhlela i-COBOL, lapho kubhalwa khona izinhlelo zenkonzo yomphakathi. Ukuze uqeqeshe ngokushesha amakhodi kuzimfihlakalo ze-COBOL, i-IBM nethimba layo labasekeli baqale ukudala izifundo zamahhala eziku-inthanethi.
Muva nje, i-IBM kanye ne-Open Mainframe Project egadwe yi-Linux Foundation (eklanyelwe ukudala amaphrojekthi omthombo ovulekile azosebenza kuma-mainframes) ngesinyathelo sokuvuselela nokweseka umphakathi ohlelayo we-COBOL. Ngale njongo, sekusungulwe izinkundla ezimbili, eyodwa ngeyomphakathi, kuthungathwa ongoti kanye nokunquma ngeziqu zabo, eyesibili yezobuchwepheshe. Kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi i-IBM, kanye nezikhungo zemfundo ezikhethekile, ilungiselela izifundo zamahhala ku-COBOL, ezizothunyelwa .
I-COBOL yethulwa ngo-1959 njengolimi lokuqala lokuhlela ukusabalalisa ngokukhululeka izinhlelo ezizosebenza kumakhompyutha e-mainframe. Izinhlelo ezifanayo ze-COBOL zokucubungula izicelo zokungasebenzi sezisebenze cishe iminyaka engama-40. I-IBM isahlinzeka ngozimele abakhulu abahambisana ne-COBOL.
Lo bhubhane uholele ekwenyukeni okungalindelekile kwezicelo ezifakiwe futhi kuphoqe izinguquko ezimeni zokufaka izicelo. Kunzima kakhulu ukubonisa izinguquko kukhodi yohlelo yolimi lwasendulo, njengoba cishe abekho ochwepheshe abasele nolwazi lwe-COBOL ezingeni elifanele. Ingabe izifundo zamahhala zizosiza kulokhu? Kungani kungenjalo. Kodwa lokhu ngeke kwenzeke kusasa noma ngakusasa, kuyilapho izinguquko bekufanele zenziwe izolo.
