i learned COBOL at the same time i was learning C/UNIX.

my experience was:

COBOL: spend 10 minutes thinking about logic, 4 hours typing, 4 hours correcting syntax errors before it finally compiles. 10 minutes debugging after it compiles, then it works.

C: spend 10 minutes thinking about logic, 30 minutes typing, program compiles just fine. core dumps as soon as i run it. debug/type. repeat the compile/dump/debug for 4 hours. then it works.
