The graphic below illustrates the usage of GnuCOBOL through WINZOS over the past calendar quarter.
This graphic shows WINZOS usage by country.
Notably, there is significant usage of WINZOS in South American countries.
It's also interesting to observe the absence of usage in Silicon Valley :-)
I am amazed by the global acceptance of COBOL.
WINZOS is designed for professional COBOL programmers working in an IBM zOS environment, rather than for beginners.
The graphic suggests that IBM zOS legacy COBOL applications are thriving worldwide.
I would like to emphasize again that WINZOS is an excellent platform for educators to teach practical COBOL in an environment that accurately reflects corporate COBOL programming.
