"these "serverless" gizmos have exactly the same execution model as CICS transactions..."

I read a book on CICS ages ago and thought "WTF is this about?"

Then it hit me.

COBOL had (has?) no concept of interactive I/O through a terminal.

CICS is how you do interactive I/O in IBM COBOL.

It took a lot pages before I got to that place.
