However, recruiting young people onto those courses, rather than ones in
mobile app creation, might be quite hard. You'd also need relevant
compilers, operating systems and hardware. 

I'm not saying this is a bad idea, but if it was easy, it might well
already be happening. 

I learned the basics of Fortran and Cobol as an undergraduate in the
early eighties, and have never had any desire to do more.
