Subject: [COFF] Of PL/I
Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2024 02:06:49 +1100 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.2404030158410.31370@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)

Has there ever been a full implementation of PL/I?  It seems akin to 
solving the halting problem...

Yes, I've used PL/I in my CompSci days, and was told that IBM had trademarked
everything from /I to /C :-)
