Hmmm... I had a brief infatuation with COBOL in 1984 but if we're talking medieval languages I much preferred PL/1, and would probably have got on just fine with Algol 68. Never mind... In 1984 we were told that we couldn't use PL/1 because at 500k the library was too big to fit on disk. In 1988 we had microsoft C which came on about 20 floppies. Bummer !
