- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y agoOracle Pro*C. You don't want to know.
- NetOpWibby 2y agoI’ve never even heard of this before. Talk about old-school!
- bogomog 2y agoI forgot it existed, was using it at a couple of jobs circa 1989-1992. Completely blocked it out of my mind.
- AlotOfReading 2y agoA former job had a similarly old codebase. I made the mistake of asking where the docs were and someone pulled out this typewritten booklet of yellowed pages from 1981 that was the only remaining copy of the originals in the early 70s. The code was on at least its 4th language by that point and is probably still running robots today.
