I thought it was funny in the story where they were talking about the company that had all this code locked in this old legacy language called HPS Seer or whatever, and wanted to upgrade it to something more modern with more programmers available.<p>And it was <i>COBOL</i>.<p>This article was only written in 2001. If it was written in 1985, maybe, I could see that making sense. And even that would be pushing it.

If you can get (or write) a lexer/parser to generate an AST from the code, can't you easily translate it to any other language?
