I just noticed the following article on the net:
KOBOL hopes to aid Linux migration worldwide
In a recent interview, Miguel de Icaza of Ximian, Inc., spoke of an
issue preventing Linux adoption in many countries.
"Even today we're still using COBOL applications and we're still
running System/36 machines," de Icaza said, speaking of his native
Mexico and many other nations.
KOBOL, from theKompany.com, may make it easier for users of legacy
COBOL applications to move to Linux, and even to develop new COBOL
apps for use there.

It seems that old languages keep around for a long time.
And now with Ada in gcc, GVD, GPS and Gtkada the future seems brighter
for Ada95 IMHO.
