There was nothing ever jovial about APL...that was one language I really
liked to avoid...

Yeah, but a pioneer nontheless.

Don't get started on PL/1. Someone may start a Smalltalk or ADA

But keep in mind that Grace was one of the designers of COBOL....*NOT*
RPG...:)

(OH the temptations to start a PL/I string.... :)

Besides honoring her, you have to admit that the language has a lot more
"Grace" than it used to . I like it.

Well...in the Eckert/Mauchly (whom I have met, btw), we could also call
