Maybe some ALGOL 58 while we're at it too.

I wonder, if this is another effect of LLMs. Maybe it's just really easy and lucrative to generate+sell books for these old languages.

Most of the COBOL material never made it into the internet. Like the actual instruction manuals for the languages. Also a vast majority that do have it on the internet have it under paywall. I notice that anything that is under paywall, the LLMs suddenly dont do as well. I think its because they only train them on the "open" internet.
