The product is targeted at modernizing mainframe applications that run on IBM Z systems, as the number of COBOL developers starts to dwindle.
COBOL, or Common Business Oriented Language, is one of the oldest programming languages in use, dating back to around 1959. It's had surprising staying power; according to a 2022 survey, there's over 800 billion lines of COBOL in use on production systems, up from an estimated 220 billion in 2017. For large organizations, it tends to be a complex and costly proposition, given the small number of COBOL experts in the world.
IBM's new product offering, Code Assistant for IBM Z, leverages a generative AI model to translate COBOL code to Java.
