VBA is a case similar to COBOL, though thankfully there's probably far less code written in it that's critical for international infrastructure (there are a lot of big financial institutions that still depend heavily on COBOL).

Realistically, you're not likely to encounter it with any significant frequency unless you work at a company that insists on not moving to newer alternatives.

I've never used COBOL haha, but agree about finance institutions relying on VBA/COBOL
