@nytpu didn’t someone write a comparison of Go and some related even neater newfangled language, which turned out to be… Algol 68?

I predict PL/M to make a comeback.

@mhd @nytpu Did you mean PL/I?

PL/M is an (incompatible) subset for the Intel 8080 processor. It's what CP/M 1 through 2.2 were written in.

I reviewed PL/I some time ago; it's not a bad language either! I wouldn't mind hacking in it. (And its syntax isn't entirely unfamiliar to me, having ARexx coding experience as well.)

@vertigo @nytpu Nah, PL/I would almost make sense, I'm going for weirdness, so that if the prediction comes true, my powers of clairsentience would be regarded way higher.

Regarding syntax, one obviously would have to convert to braces, as that seems almost like the sole predictor for language success these days ;)
