Python .. replacing COBOL.
From:
http://www.pythonthreads.com/news/latest/python-is-the-truly-object-oriented-successor-to-perl.html
I was amused by this:
"""If we take a look at the top 10 programming languages, not much has
happened the last five years. Only Python entered the top 10,
replacing COBOL. """
This doesn't actuallysay that 'Python replaced COBOL', only that
COBOL dropped off the top 10 list and Python is now on it.
4 or 5 years ago 80% of my programming was still COBOL, now it is
about 80% Python.
