A GCC COBOL status report

IIRC, Cleve didn't know APL when he started his "FORTRAN interpreter". But agreed. I was able to learn APL2 in high school (late 80s), and it poisoned me for life. Ah, working on a PS/2 model 50 (yes, *that* burninating one) with the keyboard layout card just above the keyboard...

Numpy did draw from APL in a few ways. Designing these language/library systems is a pile of nasty trade-offs. Anyone else remember yorick?

Still pissed as USPS for losing my box containing Iverson's "A Programming Language," a first-ed K&R, and more.

Morgan-Stanley isn't as into A+ any more, alas. At least that's what I've gathered from recent conversations, but I could well be talking to a different slice.
