I have never heard of Cobol and Fortran being still in serious use.
Even if they are, they must be a minuscule minority.

In contrast, C is rather obviously in very active use, especially in the
embedded world. And no doubt helped by the fact that the Linux kernel is
written pretty much entirely in C.

(I must admit: For the longest time I was slightly averse to the idea
of something like the Linux kernel adhering so strictly to C. However,
having actually had some experience on the Linux kernel in particular,
and low-level embedded programming in general, I have kind of warmed
up to the idea a bit. Not that I have become a rabid defender of C in
this context, taking my opinion to the grave (like a certain kernel
author), but I am perhaps not so averse anymore to the concept of the
kernel being written in C and remaining so. I don't consider it *so*
bad of an idea anymore, as I did eg. a decade ago. I have seen the
advantages and I'm not completely unappreciative of them.)
