Porting a mention from the other submission of this article:
It misses the big name of Multics, written in PL/I, and direct inspiration (both positive and negative) for Unix
- lproven 5y agoYes it does. I had reasons. I'm not saying that they're great reasons, but... * because it's not obscure * because I don't know much about it * because once you open the can of worms labelled "PL/?" then it sort of explodes in your face, with fun aspects touched on in other comments, such as there being at least 2 different languages called PL/M, but PL/I and PL/1 are the same, and... It's complicated, and I don't know enough about it... yet.
- p_l 5y agoFortunately Multics is one of the easier ones to learn about from that list :) Thanks to <http://multicians.org http://multicians.org> (which gathers information about Multics including source code) and <http://ban.ai http://ban.ai> (public access Multics system)
