If it was, then it probably got rewritten.

All of the Ada stuff in VMS got rewritten in another language, for example.

There was a rumour making the rounds many years ago that every DEC
language was used in at least one component in VMS so they could
justify shipping all the language-specific runtimes with VMS.

If true, those days are now long gone.
