HAHAHAHA!  You remind me of a project I worked on 35 years ago on a
USNavy contract.  It was required we code in "CMS-2", the Navy's
standard programming language.  The best way I found to describe CMS-2
was: "Imagine an old COBOL programmer had heard about Pascal, and
decided to write a compiler for such a language.  CMS-2 would be the
language he imagined."  Of course, interpretting that means one would
have had to have read COBOL sometime, and there's a generation of
programmers who never have.
