All joking aside, has anyone used mainframes for a greenfield project in the last 20 years? I'm genuinely curious. I've been under the impression the only reason they're still around is because of the massive 20 Million LOC cobol apps hanging around.
I've often thought I'd much rather have a cheap, featureful "walled garden" PAAS for side and small projects, as opposed to wrangling vms and containers all the time. Mainframe could fit this use case.
