As others have noted, there are a lot of subjective unstateds in your basic question.
Jerome's post in connection with this put me in mind of a BASIC package written by an old (I lost track of him a long time ago) friend, Mike Louder--Prime Factor BASIC. Stil have the disk and manual on the shelf, even though I've ever owned an Apple II. I think it qualifies as "languages no longer in use".
Does arbitrary-precision modular math--used in some early crypto work. Has anyone other than myself ever heard of this package?
