Oh, RPG was fun. A simple language that allows simple managers to
quickly create reports from a database.  Not much for computational
power, but it didn't need it for what it did.

PASCAL is much worse.  For instance, two variables, each defined as
char[80] are not considered the same type.  You need to define a new
type such as "char80" then have the two variables of that type.  Now
they can be compared, assigned, etc.
