If you are one of those corporations having 10s of millions of lines of Cobol, what language would you use to write the next million lines? I recently worked for a bank, where 100s of developers wrote Cobol code all day. Sure, the phone apps are written in Java, but they have to "call home" to the mainframe, where *newly written* Cobol code collects the info from the database. This use of Cobol is strictly inhouse, so doesn't show up on TIOBE. As a matter of fact, we were **explicitly** told not to post any of the code on StackOverflow or Reddit! Questions on inhouse code is supposed to be handled inhouse. :-)
