I worked with STL some but am much more familiar with structured text as
used by Rockwell/Allen-Bradley. However, my first exposure to PLCs after
getting out of the Navy back in 1991 was the Mitsubishi A series with a GPP
for a programmer. I found that one interesting because you could program in
ladder mode or switch to the other mode (which I can't remember the name
of) that looked exactly like assembly. The two modes were interchangeable
as far as I could tell.

I make a comment about C and get a flurry of responses, but ask a
question about a programming language that is also very common for
machine control and get no response at all. Not even a recognition
of its existence.
I don't think that you're being quite fair. There are boatloads of
specialized application programming languages--I rarely pay attention to
any of them, figuring that after your first dozen or so, it's easy
enough to add another one.
Heck, I may even have some STL stashed away in my collection of Siemens
PG-685 floppies. I never was interested in looking.
