Re: Obsolete tech
I used to like Coral66. The m/c that I was using at the time (an ICL1904S) had a limit of 2K for user programs and I managed to fit a lot of Coral66 into that space (although I did used PLAN macros in the Coral66 source to squeeze even more power). My first High Level Language was Fortran IV using WATFOR. I am sure that there are still thousands of programmers still working from 'my' generation.
There used to be a saying that a good programmer could write in Fortran in any language.
So, NASA, if you want us, just reply - we are ready and able.
