My Favorite Languages
Language	Proficiency
ALGOL 68	rusted shut
BASIC	good
BPL	proficient
REXX	proficient
EXEC	proficient
EXEC2	proficient
Fortran	was good, now rusty
GML	ok
GPSS	ok, mostly forgotten
HPL	proficient
IBM assembler and macros	proficient
JCL	good
Kingston FORTRAN II	proficient
PL/I	good
REXX	proficient
SAS	ok
Script/370	good
Script/VS	good
Snobol	was ok, but non-functional
Viatron FORTRAN IV	very good

APL still bemuses me.

BPL (Basic Programming Language) was a Honeywell subset of PL/I (I was one of the programmers/authors).

HPL Honeywell Programming Language, a subset of PL/I (similar to above for Honeywell's new computer --- it was never built, but from what I could glean from the specs, it would have used HPL as it's native [machine] language.

Kingston FORTRAN II (mostly called 2.5) was for the IBM 1620 with a lot of FORTRAN IV capability.

Viatron FORTRAN IV was the FORTRAN compiler for the Viatron home computer (I was one of the CUC authors of the compiler and libraries; CUC was the Computer Usage Company, at that time, the oldest software company in the USA).
