migration from the mainframe?
The mainframe as a piece of hardware might vanish. But the Exabytes of
MF software might move to some sort of virtualization platform, I guess,
may that be based on Intel, cloud, or RISC .

There is an additional draw back regarding the language Cobol itself: At the
times, it was designed in the fifties, it fitted well into the technical
architecture of the machines, though it was rather primitive from a modern
viewpoint. The aim was to enable people with a business background
In the beginning of the 80s I worked at the University of Regensburg; among
other tasks I also did programming in the field of statistics using PL/I as the

I agree that a big MF installation (e.g. running a number of sysplexes
of z10 EC CECs or z196 with a number of say 10 to 50 LPARs) has in fact
no reason to migrate to Intel based machines.
