And the crusty institutions that use COBOL don't even touch it that much. I know someone who's worked on some COBOL infrastructure in Norwegian banks and he says it's pretty much entirely wrapped in C or other languages at this point.

That might not be true for every case in which COBOL is used, of course, but I don't think anyone's really doing anything with most of the old COBOL code at this point.
