Language A short description of the language.

COBOL is the original high-level language, invented by Grace Hopper in the 1950s. General info at https://www.bushido.codes/cobol-lang. This blog is powered by Gatsby and uses a PrimsJS via a plugin. I noticed the language was missing

Additional resources

COBOL is an ISO standard. The latest version was released in 2014. https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso-iec:1989:ed-2:v1:en

GitHub does successfully perform COBOL syntax highlighting.

They seem to use this Sublime Text plugin. https://bitbucket.org/bitlang/sublime_cobol/src/master/

This VSCode plugin has several COBOL syntaxes expressed as regexes in JSON: https://github.com/spgennard/vscode_cobol

Is this being considered?

RunDevelopment commented 4 years ago

All language requests are being considered. However, implementing (and testing) new languages isn't trivial. Especially for unfamiliar languages, the research for language features alone can take the better part of a day (or longer depending on the language and the quality of its documentation).

It's not that we don't consider or don't want a language, quite the opposite. This is purely a question of manpower. So pull requests are always appreciated.
