That page reminds me of CMS/Pipelines, a beautiful Rexx-like language:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMS_Pipelines>
In that case, however, it was a matter of what anthros call "stimulus
diffusion". The CMS people read the Unix BSTJ issue, thought "We should
do that", and wrote it.
That last sentence is literally true, based on page 63 of
http://www.leeandmelindavarian.com/Melinda/25paper.pdf, and I can easily
imagine Peter Capek doing as cited on that page. However, the general
acceptance by "CMS people" was belated/begrudging, as CMS Pipelines
weren't available outside IBM to any customers until 1986 and not
available in U.S until 1989.
