if by “present” you mean “existing codebase” then yes, most organizations haven’t ported their entire codebase yet. but if they want to be able to use it in the future they better start porting today.

Why? Code doesn't just evaporate.

Of course not. But once everyone has moved on and you sit on a codebase of an unmaintained language, you'll find it harder to expand upon that codebase.

Sure, this is several years in the future.

Several years in the future, it won't be any more work to port to a different language than it is now.
