Newbie have thoughts about logic

[SamHobbs]

Thanks for the COBOL tip, I'll look into it.

I am not really serious about suggesting COBOL. I think the concept of COBOL is good and it should be extended (the language improved appropriately) but as far as I know it is not as practical as it should be (there have been improvements I am not familiar with but I assume it still is not as modern as it could be). A little warning: experienced COBOL programmers tend to do things using conventions that made sense half a century ago but not now, such as prefixing procedure names with numbers.

I think COBOL is a good example of a language with features that most other languages do not have. Python appears to be better than most at readability.
