I think my early PDP-11 programs were FORTRAN and Pascal, with a little assembler thrown in. The PDP-11 instruction set was fantastic.

- imglorp 5y agoYep: Macro-11 assembler. It persisted until at least 1982 where you could get one on a desktop. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Professional_(computer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEC_Professional_(computer)
- mark-r 5y agoThat's fascinating, it looks almost exactly like a PC! I used the LSI-11 and LSI-11/23, but never saw one of those.
- imglorp 5y agoThey were interesting beasts, with several personalities. One was a menu driven office suite with a word processor and I think a P-system Pascal arrangement. There was some kind of RSX11 underneath, with ratfor, macro-11, and DEC flavored C with $ identifiers. Edit - Oh and I think this was one of the machine families DEC would sell where the difference between models was only the glue in some of the expansion slots of the cheap models.
