I know that Burroughs' iron ran ALGOL; I shudder
to think of any box that
runs native PERL...
Huh? If I couldn't have C on the iron I'd be ecstatic with perl 4 (I'm
old,
never warmed up to perl 5).
In fact, while I was at Sun I proposed rewriting a pile of /usr/bin in
perl 4 just because it would be more maintainable. I did walk that back
at some point but I love me some perl.
I've moved on because I created my own C/perl combo language and that's
what I do most of my programming in these days.
http://mcvoy.com/lm/photos.l
is an example. I'm in Europe right now, you can see the results of photos.l
here (warning ~8MB of thumbnails):

I'm very fond of that language, it's like a scripting version of C,
has structs, but has all the fun stuff from perl.
