This is a strange thing to say. Maybe you should decribe your definition 
of "serious use". Cobol still runs many financial transactions and 
Fortran is used in high performance numerical computing. Granted, these 
things are legacy and most people would be glad to get rid  of them, but 
it is very hard, especially if you have code that was tested for decades 
and is now considered bug-free which runs critical infrastructure.

But there is a reason that compilers for these languages are still being 
actively developed and sold[1-3].
