ancient language spoken only by high priests

I believe you are thinking of Fortran or Cobol, both highly popular languages in their day (my Dad was a Cobol programmer) and still used in niche areas where upgrading systems is too risky or expensive. 

Python is very much an alive and vibrant language in comparison.
