In its glory days of the 1980s, VMS got used for all sorts of technical
computing and business IT. 

My employers used it as a software development system, producing
mathematical modelling code for VMS, plus a wide range of other platforms.
Demand for the code on VMS shrank in the 1990s, and it became expensive
compared to doing development on Windows. We had dropped it by the year
2000. We'd resume support if there was significant demand for it on
x86-64, which is why I joined this newsgroup. 

What do you use VMS for in the 2020s?
