Pretty sure VMS BASIC does everything any other BASIC does and more. :-)

As for COBOL, luckily the COBOL world refused to drink the OOP KoolAid
so the current COBOL running on OpenVMS has everything that a COBOL
Programmer needs.  (Sadly, as the number of available COBOL Programmers
decreases due to retirement and death the people likely to be tasked
with taking over the current COBOL base and writing anything new will
probably lead to COBOL also being infected.  But, such is the nature of
our industry!!)
