cobol-on-wheelchair's Issues

Feature request - POST data support

I'm partway through developing a multi-user interactive application using CoW (it's a social website, kinda like Facebook).

Can we get support for POST variables? This will greatly aid development of forms. Currently I don't have a way for users to submit data.

Website is down

Your website is down, now I can't troll my friends as easily 😞

Consider using inclusive language instead of sarcastic references

Consider using inclusive language to set a good example and tone. The project uses the wheelchair reference in a sarcastic manner which might offend people with disabilities.

Suggestions:
cobol-with-automatic-transmission, cobol-on-a-turbo-engine, cobol-on-trolley (by @CuloArdido)

Error with installation instructions

I followed the installation instructions in the README, and got this error:

/var/folders/m5/8ywlvk7517x1fj90lvkmdk800000gn/T//cob97241_0.c:496:5: error: indirect goto in
      function with no address-of-label expressions
    goto *frame_ptr->return_address;
    ^
1 error generated.

I'm running on OS X Mavericks, and installed COBOL with

brew update
brew install open-cobol

which seemed to go perfectly well.

Does not compile with gnucobol 2.2.0 or 3.0-rc1.0 (gnucobol 1.1.0 works however)

This does not compile when used with GNU Cobol 2.2 or 3.0, due to a collision with the C reserved word template.

Observed behavior

With cobc (GnuCOBOL) 2.2.0:

[vagrant@localhost cobol-on-wheelchair]$ cobc --version

Feature idea: Support loops in the templates

I have a relatively funny idea for a new CoW-based project, but it would require support for {{ for ... }} or similar loops in the template system.

Doesn't compile with newer GNU COBOL compilers :/

as in topic

Website is down, again

Your site is down like a communism, again ;(

Compliance with de facto naming alliterations

Existing technologies such as Ruby on Rails and Groovy on Grails have established an elegant alliteration in their project names, lending themselves to be memorable and appealing. While I applaud this project's goals, its name is lack luster and deviates from de-facto naming formats.

I propose this project be renamed so as to adhere to established norms. As an initial brainstorming, I suggest the following:

COBOL on Crutches
COBOL on Catheters
COBOL on Cialis

Babel compiler to COW

I'm going to need to run my javascript through Babel and transpile it to a COW on the server and client for a SPA.
