I think many would dispute that its dead.
Apparently more than 95% of ATM swipes and 43% of banking systems are written in COBOL. No idea how true that is.

Re:Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?

Nothing is more soul destroying than having to click several times to make the nonsense go away.
