I do not see anyone writing a drive in COBOL, although I was tempted to create a CGI script with it once, but that thought passed quickly. I would say ASM is useful in much the same way compiled C code is used in several perl modules. If you want to get very efficient, you use the language which can do it more efficiently. Perl does not run as quickly as C and C does not run as fast as ASM. I do not know where COBOL would fit in.
