Despite its bashing around here, plenty of MS shops do keep using VB, even for new projects.

As does everybody working at a slightly deeper level with Excel and that alone probably puts it near the top of PL usage.

As I worked on a couple of projects in life sciences, the migration path to VB was those users that wanted to grow beyond VBA so they would eventually adopt VB + WinForms for data processing, they didn't even care for R or Python, Excel and Tableau were they main tools.

Haha, even Fortran has seen serious growth in the last year apparently.
