Actually Cobol is pretty much everywhere in the substrate, but not in visible places... banks, insurance companies, and the like have tons of cobol code in use.


And if we count VBA, VB6 and VB.net as spiritual successors to BASIC there's an absolutely ungodly amount of new BASIC code in use and being written every day anywhere people use Excel. It's ugly, but it's a large part of how business is done.
