Speaking of progress... Progress 4GL was the main tool used by the small company I first worked for after university. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenEdge_Advanced_Business_Language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenEdge_Advanced_Business_Lan...) It worked in the context of the company being a VAR for solutions that used it to run big business ERP systems and the like, but our manager saw it more as a universal hammer for any job. Fair enough; he had become the manager after being the sole wunderkind programmer for this company, and had no management experience, or really much other prior job experience. I like to think we've all grown beyond our initial roots since.
