Re: “700 lines just to do the 'hello world'? I've never had it that bad. ”
I'm exaggerating a little, but COBOL has pages of mandatory sections at the start off every program - sections on what the program is about, who you are, what the source computer is, what the object computer is, who the customer is, what the variables are and how they're used, etc. By the time you can do the least little thing, you've already got a big program on your hands - unless you've skipped over those sections and created what authorities would say is a bad program. Then the language itself is incredibly verbose, reading more like a book than a concise language.
