A massively weird old language for manipulating sequential databases. The "common" in its name is unfortunately true, as a great proportion of business software, particular accounting systems, is written in [COBOL] and has to be maintained.
There are a few projects to create OpenSource [COBOL] implementations, but it's a big and unrewarding task, especially since only a full-featured [COBOL] will be any good to anyone. After all, no one will start a new project in [COBOL] these days - its purpose would be for porting.
