No more dead than smalltalk.

There is a bunch of defence code written in Jovial and you can still
buy ( albeit for 30,000 $ US ) Jovial development envirnoments.

Ada ( an excellent language BTW )  is used by Boeing and a bunch of
other firms.
( and in the defence sector )

However, like Smalltalk, they are niche languages.
