As long as we're OT and having fun.... As recently as four years ago, I saw a study that said there were still more lines of COBOL code in active use in the U.S. than all other languages combined. (Mind you, that could be one government procurement program, but still....)
And a friend of mine who's a software auditor for a DoD agency says a HUGE percentage of the Ada code they have actually consists of a very few lines of Ada that call a C program. The government required Ada to be used but made an exception for cases where an existing C program was already tested and in place. One of the best recipes for avoiding innovation anyone's ever seen.

I hear there's still some markets for COBOL & Ada...
