Been there as well but instead of COBOL was badly designed PHP codebase. I had the same thought as you but in the end, I was really coding less and less at home. What I did was help in the forums for my favorite language. Helped old timers and newbie alike with examples and good practices. This slowly reignited my passion for the language and I slowly started coming back as I coded libraries people wanted and little examples. Now I am full time back with my favorite language and happy.
Thats something interesting to do, helping newbies in various forums of my favorite language. Cool. That should obviously ignite the same old passion to code :)
