While C and C++ have been around longer than COBOL was when building new systems it it was halted, at least COBOL does its job well while C and C++ don't due to their lack of safety. Also, COBOL is more difficult to replace than C and C++ are. I expect C and C++ code to start being seen as dangerous and money will be spent to eradicate it due to its potential to be a security risk in this online world.
