Walter has been around a long time. He knows the game. Walter, have you ever used PL/I?

Nope. But Pascal was so simple that a listing for a working subset compiler for it (written in BASIC) was published in BYTE magazine back in the 70s.

But I (and many other compiler devs) thought back in the early 80's that Ada was so complex it was unimplementable. Today that thought seems charmingly naive.
