Depends on the job you have, and how far you go out of your bubble.

Like Fortran...but not if you work at Cern.
And Cobol...but not if you work at a Finance institute.
And PL/1...but not if you work for IBM.
- throwaway894345 5y agoWhether or not something is rare globally doesn't depend on whether or not it's rare locally. I think most folks at Cern could agree that Fortran is not widely used even if they use it regularly and many others in their field use it regularly. Indeed, Fortran can be rare even though it's likely used more frequently than many programmers are aware!
