meet your new god PL/I

Name: Anonymous 2010-07-24 12:34

We live in a world where C and C++ are the only game in town as far as compile to platform languages. Java, C# and even scripting languages like Python and Ruby are all garbage collected VM languages that only provide a bandaid to all of C and C++'s problems. There is a solution, PL/I, a very full featured systems, scientific and enterprise language that handles all the issues that C and C++ leave the programmer to work out on his own. Read this comparison between C and PL/I and you'll see its a very serious systems programming language what was and still is ahead of its time:

(PL/I is pronounced pee-el-one, not pee-el-eye, it stands for "Programming Language One")

This was true.
Exactly. C's application has moved on. That's a sign of age. You refuse to see it. I don't care: another one to take up with the committee. Not me. It seems like you just don't like the sound of it, and frankly I don't give a shit.

This discussion is over.
Did you mean: lalalalala I can't hear you?

For the record this discussion never started. You've been vague the whole time and you're still being vague. You've never once explained yourself even a little without being prompted at least twice. Hell, you can't even answer a question. If I've failed to understand what you've said it's because you never actually said anything of substance--you've just contradicted things I have said without giving any but vacuous reasons or even attempting to understand what I said (let alone what WG14 has published.)
