GCC 15 to Support COBOL!

2025-03-11

A major update is coming to the GCC 15 compiler: COBOL language front-end support has been merged! This is a significant step forward for GCC's COBOL support, facilitating the migration of legacy mainframe COBOL applications to Linux and cloud environments. While COBOL's popularity isn't what it once was, this merge is still a welcome surprise. Developers can use the `gcobol` command to invoke the COBOL compiler front-end. Expect COBOL support alongside many other features in the GCC 15.1 stable release in the coming weeks.
