As is Bliss, of course. If you want a high level language, use

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that BLISS-10 (and BCPL) weren't. I did
some Modula-2 programming but like many other languages (Algol-60,
Algol-68) it's just a note in the history books now.
Of course, Ada is the solution, I'm just not quite sure I remember
the question :-)
