"COBOL is an all but dead language..."

I don't know too much about the older programming languages, but whatever
mainframes use, it must be old. It seems that there are some industries that
need people who can program in the old languages. It doesn't sound like John
wants to learn an old one, but aren't there some situations in which knowing
an old language could give you an advantage?
