As I got my COBOL certificate in 1984 I was told to hurry as COBOL would be replaced soon by other, better programming languages.

Fast-forward to 2015:

"When you think of Microsoft’s IDE, Visual Studio 2015, perhaps you can be forgiven for not immediately thinking of COBOL. Micro Focus is rectifying the dearth of COBOL support in Microsoft’s newest of IDE with today’s release of Visual COBOL for Visual Studio: a software package that brings full support for the ancient language into the modern enterprise life-cycle environment.
