Multics hopefully will be stable enough to use. The pl1 and runtime on
multics is very usable. From what I've seen, Stratus copied most of it
for their original OS, before slapping a c layer on top of it.
The file system, runtime libraries, and pl1 all looked similar enough
that the guys I know there didn't retrain many fingers to program on
stratus vs. multics. what I saw looked very similar.

PL/1 anyone?
Its Wikipedia page puts me in
mind of some of the more ill-advised dark corners
of Perl combined with the flexibility of Pascal.
