Cobol anyone? :D

No commercial releases that I'm aware of. There have been a few Amiga stabs at it from coders but the one or two I have seen have been quite limited, IIRC.

Amazing that there is still a demand for the coders. It was more designed to handle huge datasets than anything, requirements that didn't fit inside most eqiupment using punched cards.Tape system rather than cards, then later on  drives.  Might take you an age to prepare the data for the program to crunch it into something else. But you could set up a batch and leave it running.

Drives really changed it, in the sense of having some way to interrupt the data flow and computation. And it wasn't always that accurate computation, in  terms of producing "accurate" results at a given point in time. Kind of a built in lag with regards to the concept of time. It would get an accurate set of totalls, but not while the system was coming up with the answers.

How about Oberon?

Can't really offer an opinion. None of the links actually say what language it is. Or is a replacement Operating System? Looks that way. There is an Oberon ROM replacement listed for the Amiga.

Way after my time, never heard of it before. Couldn't even tell you what it does, and the people doing the documentation thought it was SO obvious, they didn't even write it down.

Or maybe they did, and I just missed it.
