    inb4 someone says COBOL is better than c++ because it is tried and tested.

      Surprised to see nvidia there, it's an open-source project after all. Even Star Trek seems more realistic.

        You do realize cobol is a language made for programming robotics right? Of course a pickup truck is better for moving furniture than a sedan, just as much as a sedan is better for moving people than a pickup truck. I wouldn't consider c++ for robotics ever.

          "common business-oriented language" was designed for robotics?

            Anyway it's used pretty heavily for such. It's a procedural language that turned out to be ideal for it.

              [s]Trolling?[/s] Wikipedia didn't mention robotics anywhere.

              COBOL (/ˈkoʊbɒl/, an acronym for common business-oriented language) is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. It is imperative, procedural and, since 2002, object-oriented. COBOL is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.

                All it takes is a very simple google search to find out. Anyway as I said it turned out to be ideal for robotics and is used pretty heavily for such.

                  For me that returns nothing relevant (mostly robots, some pages with cobol but no robotics, some mentions to a music band), I'm willing to believe you get more relevant results, but I see nothing that links cobol to robotics.

                  edit: {rust, java, c++, go, objective-c, ...} in robotics all return plenty of relevant results.
                  edit2: go only had a few relevant hits.

                    I work with industrial robots and have never seen cobol used on any of them. They have more or less all proprietary programming languages.
