For background -- and I am not an expert here -- their C++ frontend is widely known. I first heard of it because Visual C++'s Intellisense uses it, which was notable because VC does not use the msvc frontend for its own completion. I understand it's been either used or evaluated for other frontends in the past too. I worked as PM for one C++ product, and was fortunate to be able to learn a lot from our engineers; we didn't use it, but they thought highly of EDG.
It has a very strong reputation for being correct. And as such, I think open sourcing it will be a very beneficial thing for the C++ community.

I'm really confused by this list: every link I click on either doesn't work or takes me to a project for Go written in Go. I haven't been able to navigate to a single Cobol project.
Yeah, going back and checking, it is weird. My bad, I am a little embarrassed, I too find no cobol, only Go.
To make up for my transgression ...
Here is Doom in Cobol tho <a href="https://github.com/deios0/cobol-doom" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/deios0/cobol-doom
Rock Paper Scissors in Cobol as a Cloudflare Worker <a href="https://github.com/cloudflare/cobol-worker/blob/master/src/worker.cob" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/cloudflare/cobol-worker/blob/master/src/w...
Still excited to see C++ get slowly replaced by better languages.

But also quite sad. They've announced that they are closing down.
