What is Bloop?
Bloop specializes in modernizing legacy code by converting COBOL to human-readable Java. The AI-powered conversion ensures functional equivalence, validated through a dedicated AI test suite. The generated Java code is designed to be easily understood and modified, similar to code written by a human developer.
This approach allows businesses to quickly update their systems and integrate them with modern technologies. The process prioritizes safety and accuracy, with correctness checks at every step, minimizing risk compared to manual rewrites.
Features
- Functionally Equivalent: COBOL and Java programs exhibit identical behaviour, validated by our AI test suite.
- Readable Code: COBOL is converted to Java that reads as a human would write.
- License Free: Modernised code makes use of Open Source libraries and cloud primitives where possible to maximise cost savings.
- Ready to Change: After conversion, code can be modified and extended without the need for refactoring.
- Safety: Our automatic translation is safer than a manual rewrite, with correctness checks built in at every stage of the pipeline.
Use Cases
- Modernizing legacy COBOL systems
- Migrating COBOL to Java
- Integrating legacy systems with modern technologies
- Freeing up engineering resources for innovation by automating code conversion

What is AI code conversion?
Traditional approaches to code conversion have resulted in code which is unreadable and therefore impossible to modify or build upon. We've pioneered a new approach to code conversion which produces Java, written as a human would write, and ready for further development and consolidation with your core engineering unit.
