Literally nay programming language can be used to write
a CGI script.

But there is a very long way from the 1995 CGI scripts
to modern web solutions.

Did you Cobol web app support:
- session sharing across cluster
- OAuth integration
- LDAP integraion
- verification of client certificate
- Redis or memcached for cache
- exposing status / load info to load balancer
- reporting stats and health check to IBM Tivoli / CA Unicenter / Zabbix
- reporting to Prometheus
- HTTP/2 push
- web sockets
- switching to in-cloud managed service for database
- having accept request header determine response format
?
