CMS Pipelines is immensely powerful. Unix cannot compare. You can write a
basic Pipelines HTTPS web server in about 30 lines. I helped to develop the VM
Charlotte web browser, for which I rewrote the HTML formatting in systems
programming C, which all runs as a CMS Pipeline.

I made some contributions to Charlotte. I dropped off the
project when it switched from Pipelines to C. I had no
suitable C compiler.
I was dissatisfied with XEDIT UPDATE: it included lines
I had touched but not modified. Rather, I used
ISRSUPC UPDCMS8 ti create the updates I submitted.
for another (actual revenue) project, I took over support
of an EXEC. My predecessor had used PIPE where useful, but
I couldn't use most Pipelines commands. So I changed the
filetype from EXEC to REXX and added two instructions:
STAGE = address()
address CMS
...and it worked as before. And when needed I could add
address value STAGE
any Pipelines command
