COBOL is massively relevant - even today.  I am not convinced by the 
estimates I have read of the quantity of COBOL code written in recent 
years, but even if they are out by a couple of orders of magnitude, 
COBOL is still a huge industry and a major programming language.

In the same vein, Delphi is a major language / development tool, with a 
very large base in commercial companies.  It is relatively small in the 
world of open source, sourceforge, github, etc., and so on.  When you 
are using close source software on Windows, you won't know it is written 
in Delphi - but it might well be.

And yes, there is plenty of software that mixes C++ and Delphi.
