      Missing my original point here. The set theory is the

      Imagine if COBOL was the only widely-available programming
        language with functions. You might use it, because functions are
        really great abstraction for programming. That wouldn’t mean
        that COBOL wasn’t an utterly awful language.
    
    
    COBOL is a great language in its domain.
