My opinion about Explained: Coding

Here I'm going to give you my opinion on the Netflix documentary, and I'm also going to give you my opinion on whether it's necessary to be taught these languages in Colombia.

I find it interesting that there are many languages in the world that we don't know, and such is the case with the Netflix documentary, which shows that there are languages that humans have developed, such as COBOL and FORTRAN, and that they are used in many fields, in this case, business and science. These languages were created decades ago and continue to be essential in their respective fields, despite the emergence of modern programming languages. This means that they are languages that are not used in everyday life but rather play a specific role in different professional areas: business, academic, and scientific.

Answering the question of whether these types of languages should be taught in schools and universities, I would say that certain universities focused on the business world could teach them, especially for students pursuing careers in finance or systems engineering. But for other universities that don't have this focus, I see it as completely unnecessary, since they are languages that are only used in those fields, so I feel they are not crucial for the student's comprehensive development. Therefore, a student interested in these languages could attend universities that offer these academic programs and provide proper training.
