Or more like a definition of "use". There's a difference between "programs
written in Cobol are still in use" and "new programs are being written
using Cobol" (and by "new" I don't mean programs that are written in
that language for legacy reasons because they need to use existing
libraries or codebases written in Cobol. "New" as in starting from a
clean slate, without using existing legacy code.)

The latter is certainly true for C.

But even if it's true also for Cobol and Fortran, I would guess it's not
extraordinarily common overall.
