Actually, I very much hope that I can use Python and Ruby alongside Perl6 via Parrot. In fact, I'd love to see a version of a Java compiler that can target Parrot, too. That way I can choose each language based on its merits alone and not just because it needs to integrate with a larger application that is written only in language x.
I doubt Cobol is going away any time soon. If you've still got Cobol code laying around, it's because it's mission critical and you don't dare replace it with a solution that doesn't have 20+ years of debugging behind it like your current Cobol code does. You don't keep Cobol around because you want to, but because you have to. I don't see how Parrot will change that.
