Is COBOL dying? Of 27,615 projects on Sourceforge, zero use COBOL, yet
COBOL is the most commonly used language in the world. Just because it's
not the current fad language or the language of choice for hackers does
not mean a language is dead.
Ada is the international language of choice when software quality is the
prime concern, such as safety-critical systems. It will not be
disappearing any time soon.
