Even some become obsolete, but never die, you'll find developers still using them.

You need to visit Q&A and the forums more often I've seen a number of VB6 questions in the last week or two.

Um. You might be wrong: Google "Pascal .NET"[^]
And there is still Delphi out there.

You know, it's a funny thing. I was using Pascal just 5 minutes ago.

Really?
Not Turbo PASCAL or PASCAL.Net?

Nope. The one that InnoSetup uses for scripting.

I met someone using Borland Pascal several years ago

I can't even read my old Pascal files from college, but... I do have Pascal compilers for my OpenVMS systems. 
(And COBOL and Fortran and BASIC... I don't remember the complete list, I only use the C compiler occasionally.)

Like any other living/non-living thing, language also follows bell-curve. It doesn't die, but get way too obsolete to bother about.
Its the interest level of developer community that keeps the language/platform alive. And legacy application of course: VFP for example.
In general, Developer community is like that child who wants/gets a new toy every now and then. Some lasts longer, some for very short span.

Our company uses VFP 9 , it also has a version of its application still alive produced by FOXPROW version 2.6 and we still support its customers
|
|
|
|
|
exactly, that's the point. It gets obsolete to the level that it looses focus of majority community and we call it dead....but its alive sometimes at it's own sometimes with pace-maker !
Thanks,
Milind

Like old products. We had a support call yesterday from one of our customers... they were using an at least 15 year old application of ours...  and of course it was "urgentzz"  they were lucky at least someone here knew what he was talking about 
|
|
|
|
|
Yup. that happens and its always "high priority" "urgent" mostly to find the dumbness of user
Thanks,
