Ahh, JCL. *sigh* There's some memories.
I spend my days fixing JCL and wishing I could find someone wanting me to
write APL. I find perl to be unreadable, and I still haven't gotten very
far with lisp.
Also reminds me of "programmers" who can
"write code" but
seem unable to read other people's code. Has anyone else
had this experience? I run into this sort of person all the time
. . .
Youu could probably make a graph of "Write Only" languages,
those that allow you to get things done, but then don't explain
themselves very well when read later.
The graph would have CoBOL and Pascal on the left side,
and c and APL on the right.
