#IronSpring

#mainframe #PL1 Doing some more Iron Spring PL/I under Linux, and it's really jolly good. I haven't disagreed with any of the choices they made to make it useful on this OS :-)

I'm not quick yet (keep referring to docs for "is it index(needle, haystack) or index(haystack, needle)" but already I'm writing fewer bugs than I ever did with C :-)
#IronSpring

Hint if trying: compile with something like:-

plic '-C -N -dELF -cn(\!) -lvosmnxg hello.pli'

ld -g --oformat=elf32-i386 -melf_i386 -z muldefs -Bstatic -M -e main -t -o hello ./hello.o -lprf
