Easy COBOL Migrator

COBOL migration to 6 languages. Offline, no AI.

Easy COBOL Migrator launched on March 17, 2026 with 1 votes, #8,013 of 23,380 launches that month.

What it does

Desktop COBOL migration tool. Converts COBOL to C++, Java, C#, Python, Rust and Go using a full compiler pipeline: lexer, parser, AST, semantic analyzer and 6 code generators. Not AI-based. Same input always produces the same output. All processing runs locally. Source code never leaves your machine. Handles 36 statement types, 220+ keywords, COPY/REPLACE preprocessing, file I/O and SORT/MERGE. Migration reports flag what needs manual review. Free demo available. No registration.

Desktop COBOL transpiler for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Converts COBOL programs to C++ 17, Python 3, Rust, Go, Java 17, and C# 12 using a full compiler pipeline with semantic analysis and migration diagnostics.

    This is an evolving toolkit of capabilities helpful for analysing and reverse engineering legacy Cobol code. Currently, the following capabilities are available: - Program / Section-level flowchart generation based on AST (SVG or PNG) - Parse Tree generation (with export to JSON) - Control Flow Tree generation (with export to JSON) - Allows embedding code comments as comment nodes in the graph - The SMOJOL Interpreter (WIP) - Injecting AST and Control Flow into Neo4J - Injecting Cobol data layouts from Data Division into Neo4J (with dependencies like MOVE, COMPUTE, etc.) + export to…

  • Otterkit – COBOL compiler for .NET2023 · github.com · ▲192

    I'm the lead developer of Otterkit. We've been working on this compiler for the past few months. The goal is to support the latest COBOL 2022 standard and compile it to C# (will support nativeAOT as well) Currently most of the work is being done on the parsing side of it to ensure that it can correctly parse all of the 2022 standard. We're almost done writing the parser, and will soon move to the codegen and runtime library. Please let me know what your opinion is on the project. I'll be here to answer any questions about it. We're also looking for contributors if anyone is interested in…

  • A new language for COBOL workloads, built on GoNov 2025 · github.com · ▲5

    We’re building an open-source language layer on top of Go, designed specifically for COBOL-style workloads: Native decimal arithmetic (COBOL-accurate) Record structures and copybook compatibility Batch jobs and transactional orchestration as first-class constructs Sequential / indexed file I/O baked into the runtime Compiles through Go for speed, concurrency, and cloud deployability Think of it as Kotlin for COBOL, or “COBOL on Go” familiar to mainframe engineers, powerful for modern developers. Test Results so far: NIST COBOL-85 validation: 77.61% overall (305/393 tests) NC…

  • Talanoa▲346

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
