The only differentiation I might make is whether there are
implementations still out in the world. Pascal and Fortran have more
or less complete and free compilers available (see:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_%28programming_language%29
 and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Pascal

for example) and so there are niche specialties that continue to use
them for specialized applications.

Contrast those with zombie languages where you have to find
20-year-old floppy-disk or CD-based installers to install a
proprietary IDE on a new machine. Those are walking dead.
