It is not necessary to know all 300 to use the important ones. And you are missing the point of COBOL. It uses words instead of operators. And returning to the subject of this thread, the complaint is that even Python is not clear. COBOL is an example of a language designed to be clear for people; yes, the disadvantage is that it is wordy, but that is what we get if we want to make things clear to people. And that was my point.
