Description
Hi,
Thank you for the work done around learning the COBOL language.
In addition to the syntax elements of the COBOL language, do you plan to approach COBOL programming styles allowing the production of readable code, (ability to understand processes), maintainable code, (ability to modify code with minimum work), debugable code, (ability to trace code or analyze dumps)?
See the discussion I open on an other site: https://github.com/IBM/zopeneditor-about/discussions/131
A discussion on this subject could also be opened on this site.
