Not really.  My gut feeling is that it's almost dead except for those
places that adopted it a few decades ago and keep it going.  But I'd be
very happy to be wrong about that.  I use it every now and then.  The
world is a more interesting place with languages like Prolog in it.

We need more odd-ball languages like APL (or J), SR, Icon, Argus and
SNOBOL.  Intellectual diversity is stimulating.  The list is not meant
to be exhaustive.  If anyone knows of other interesting languages, post
away...
