 Certainly.
 In my talk I was careful to repeat multiple times that
 COBOL was successful and made lots of companies
 lots of money.

 It's important to understand why the DP style is 
 so successful in order to copy that success with Objects.

 One of my conclusions is that Data and processes 
 are easily understood when multiple departments 
 and multiple programming languages need to 
 be coordinated.

 That's why XP advocated the practice of
 One-Team and Sitting Together.
 
 Without Sitting together the need to communicate in 
 a simple language of data overwhelms 
 the need to develop an application efficiently.
