all of these are still used in modern applications. i suggest Forth.

I bet there's still some FORTRAN in use at NASA/JPL.

Alternatively, I'm pretty sure key parts of Excel were written in x86 assembly. Dunno if that's still true.

Fortran is everywhere. it got a new release less than ten years ago.

When I was going to university in the early 90s I was taking computer programming for business administration, COBOL & FORTRAN, could not drop it quick enough. Such an old boring language (never stuck with programming, maybe they're all like that).

Bunch of my class mates did pretty well with the whole Y2K issue though.
