It's not a high level language. Maybe Pascal would fit.

Gag me with a TK50 !!!

I've done Ada for NASA many years ago and even they eventually saw the
error in their ways and and went back to 'C'... Pascal is not even a
contender... Modula-II is quite a bit better than Pascal, but I'll
stay with C/C++ anyday...

(My last programming was 1990-1...and that was just to get some elaborate
weight shift calculations done, Borland's Turbo C. I even keep some of the
other stuff)

Real Programmers...

Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They like twinkies, coke and
palate-scorching Szechwan food.
Real Programmers don't write applications programs. They program
right down on the bare metal. Applications programming is for the
dullards who can't do systems programming.
Real Programmers don't write specs. Users should be grateful for
whatever they get: they are lucky to get any programs at all.
Real Programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write,
it should be hard to understand and harder to modify.
Real Programmers don't document. Documentation is for simpletons
who can't read listings or the object code from the dump.
Real Programmers don't draw flowcharts. Flowcharts are the illiterate's
form of documentation. Cavemen drew flowcharts; look at how much
good it did for them.
Real Programmers don't read manuals. Reliance on a reference manual
is the hallmark of the novice and the coward.
Real Programmers don't write in RPG. RPG is for gum-chewing dimwits
who maintain ancient payroll programs.
Real Programmers don't write in COBOL. COBOL is for COmmon Business-
Oriented Laymen who can't run a business, much less write a real
program.
Real Programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for wimp engineers
who wear white socks. They get excited over finite state analysis and
nuclear reactor simulation.
Real Programmers don't write in PL/1. PL/1 is for insecure anal-retentives
who can't choose between COBOL and FORTRAN.
Real Programmers don't write in BASIC. Actually, no programmer writes
in BASIC after reaching puberty.
Real Programmers don't write in APL, unless the whole program can be
written on one line.
Real Programmers don't write in LISP. Only idiots' programs contain
more parenthesis than actual code.
Real Programmers don't write in PASCAL, BLISS, ADA, or any of those
other sissy computer science languages. Strong typing is the crutch
for people with weak minds.
Real Programmers' programs never work right the first time. But if you
throw them on the machine they can be patched into working order in
"only a few" 30-hour debugging sessions.
Real Programmers never work 9 to 5. If any Real Programmers are around
at 9:00 am, its because they were up all night.
Real Programmers don't play tennis, or any other sport which requires
a change of clothes. Mountain Climbing is acceptable.
Real Programmers wear climbing boots to work in case a mountain should
suddenly spring up in the middle of the machine room.
Real Programmers disdain structured programming. Structured programming
is for compulsive neurotics who were permanently toilet trained. They
wear neckties and carefully line up sharp pencils on an otherwise clear
desk.
Real Programmers don't like the team programming concept. Unless, of
course they are the chief programmer.
Real Programmers never write memos on paper. They send memos via computer
mail networks.
Real Programmers have no use for managers. Managers are a necessary evil.
They exist only to deal with personnel bozos, bean counters, senior
planners,
and other mental defectives.
Real Programmers scorn floating point arithmetic. The decimal point was
invented for pansy bedwetters who are unable to "think big."
Real Programmers don't drive clapped-out Mavericks. They prefer BMW's,
Porsches, or pick up trucks with floor shifts. Fast motorcycles are highly
regarded.
Real Programmers don't believe in schedules. Planners make up schedules.
Managers "firm up" schedules. Frightened coders strive to meet schedules.
Real Programmers ignore schedules.
