Did anyone catch this article about "Zombie Languages"?

James Milligan also drew parallels with the perennial demand for programmers skilled in venerable mainframe programming language COBOL, a language older than The Beatles.
"Other languages which continue to be widely used despite running legacy systems include COBOL. It's known that COBOL tends to be preferred in business, finance and administrative systems due to its efficiency in handling large volumes of data - so it's predicted to remain popular across these sectors."
