COBOL is still quite alive and well.

There was a sh*t load of applications written in it, it would be interesting if the surveys identified the volume of app support, the majority I suspect.

No matter how you look at it, classic VB is no longer supported and has not been for many years. Anyone STARTING a new project in it is nuts.

I think "well" is a bit of a stretch, even alive is only because some legacy systems are just to expensive to replace.

Face it: VB is based on a language designed for people who can't code, don't want to code, and have no interest in quality. It still has those early days buried deep in it's fabric: the On Error rubbish, the weak typing, the lack of need to declare anything.
