I need to share this in all its glory. There is a working COBOL web framework. "Still got it!" it croaked from the corner.
> I remember an April fools joke from 20 years ago promoting COBOL as the hot new web language, maybe it's finally time
Cobol on Wheelchair https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair
Cobol on Cogs http://www.coboloncogs.org/INDEX.HTM
It’d be great to learn about other code by prominent politicians.
Off the top of my head, I only recall one other example: COBOL on Wheelchair [0], a web micro-framework for GNU COBOL, written by Adrian Zandberg [1], a Polish MP.
Why not COBOL of Wheelchair?
There is also COBOL on Wheelchair:
https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair
IIRC both of them where featured on the HN front page once.
COBOL on wheelchair: https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair
So I guess you could use https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair and develop your entire app in a Worker. Great!
I thought of https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair
And what about https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair ?
display
"content-type: text/html"
newline
end-display.
COBOL-ON-COGS (http://www.coboloncogs.org/HOME.HTM) was one, but also https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair
On the topic of "why would you write that with that", this is worth a mention:
https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair
Or Cobol on Wheelchair
A quick search for COBOL applications on GitHub found this: https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair.
Reminds me of: https://github.com/azac/cobol-on-wheelchair

There are COBOL repositories on Github[1], it would probably be worth looking at what they do. From that list, here's a micro web framework[2] which while it may not be indicative of what you would expect to do in COBOL if hired to work in it, is interesting.
CobolOnCogs [1] was purely a joke, this is an actual framework (also a joke, but with actual functioning code [2]).
