GnuCOBOL 2.2 released --- PL/I next?

Those who want to work on a kernel written in PL/I can join the revived Multics project:

I've been looking at converting their changelog history to Git for browsing purposes; work in progress here:

PL/I is... a surprisingly nice language given when it was created! The syntax is a bit weird in places (e.g. structure definitions), but it's got several nice features (e.g. proper strings), and the majority of the Multics code I've looked at is quite pleasant to read.
