If you like to play with classics like SNOBOL in their original form,
then you can run SNOBOL and SPITBOL under the Hercules IBM mainframe
emulator.

(These days I use Perl for the stuff I used to do in SNOBOL back when).

I don't think of it as "retrocomputing" per se, but I maintain a
SNOBOL4 implementation: http://www.snobol4.org/csnobol4/
Mostly I write SNOBOL4 throw away programs for textual
transformations. The biggest bit of programming I've done recently is
a package to compile/install shared libraries for extending SNOBOL4.
