I figured that one reason COBOL and RPG IV continue to exist is that a replacement language that can check all of the boxes hasn't been developed. It is just not that cool a job to write a COBOL replacement like it is to write a C replacement. Rust and Go need a bunch of libraries to do COBOL's work. Frankly even with the libraries, both are too complicated to replace COBOL. It just isn't a cool area like most Enterprise software.
