I used it very briefly on a PC "back in the day", but have only

The NSA document is an interesting and amusing read, but the
reference to "Nicholas Worth" (Niklaus Wirth) gave me a big chuckle.

I tried to write a BBS in that for an Apple //.
Key word -tried-. Horrible. How did I ever live in anything that small?
Weird, I liked it even on the Apple II. We had it running on a mc68000,
and that was zippy! I thought back then, that the architecture was nice.
As soon as you got it working at all, it was very easy and fast to make
changes to the system. We had lots of different graphic display back
then, and the adaption was very easy.
