certainly not active, but back in the 1980s i got dumped on a program that used algol, bcpl, fortran and cobol to drive a phototypesetter to do ... something. this took advantage of the fact that the dec10 allowed you to mix & match languages, much like the vax. i suppose i was lucky the idiot that originally wrote it didn't throw lisp into the pot. anyway, as i was hired as a microcomputer specialist, and as two dec10 systems programmers had ducked it, i simply said "no can do" - a valuable lesson. this is what i like about HN - recalling things i had completely forgotten!
