I don’t understand why people get so fixated on programming languages.

Let me reiterate: the real challenge in large enterprise system migration projects lies in the data. The sheer effort required to clean and prepare it is often massively underestimated.
So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base!

and they want to do it ...

... in *a few months*

I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ...

... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here
