Is this an indirect reference to the "Programmer's ABC" in the March
1976 issue of Datamation? I have a copy of the lot at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/Humour/ABC.php, but the one I think you're
referring to is:
L is for language; use these three.
Cobol, Fortran, RPG.
Avoid all others, friend, and shun
Those with the suffix "L slash I."
And yes, I share your sentiment.
