I'm all for training more programmers in languages till in use, e.g., COBOL, PL/I, but that won't solve the problems on the fron ends that are not written in, e.g., COBOL, but in languages for which there are lots of programmers. It's not a hardware issue and it's not a language issue; it's a management issue.
