I went through a similar experience with Clipper and Turbo Pascal/Delphi, both were widely used and we thought they would last forever.
When doubts started to appear 20 years ago, companies slowly moved their new projects to other stacks.
They are still around and have been updated to more recent versions, but it hardly matters to most devs.
Oracle being careless with mobile OSes support and bringing out stupid enterprise frameworks like Oracle Mobile Application Framework, has made people even go back to C++ for writing portable code for mobile OSes.
