Well... if I was starting a new project that had to run on an MVS mainframe, I probably would in fact consider COBOL. But I'm relatively happy that I probably won't be in that position.

Agreed on all counts. Do note that "making the language more popular" doesn't factor into this: if you need to start a project on an MVS mainframe, you already know about COBOL!
