"one of THOSE guys that walked around campus with your program stack of IBM punch cards in your shirt pocket!" Naah that is what shoeboxes were for. Real programs could be a stack a box or two long.
Personally liked FORTRAN 5 the best, it added IF-THEN-ELSE and CASE statements but ADA was first I saw that you could define 2+2=5. And then there was Mil-std-1750A, a coprocessor in search of a processor.
When I was there MODCOMPs were the thing thought I found EPTAKs to be better process controllers.
