Tim Oxler quoted:

Sentry Market Research surveyed 700 IS mangers what language they used
for client/server application development:

Visual Basic    23%
Cobol           21%
C++             18%
C               15%

and note that client server applications probably have a lower percentage
of COBOL than all applications, because there are still lots of 
traditional batch programs being generated in IS shops in COBOL.
