[Info-vax] PL/1 on VMS

It is more consistent than C.  Not sure on the friendlier part (yes I see 
the quotes).

The biggest shock for people is that BLISS is essentially untyped.  It deals 
with machine words.  There are language features that help you think "types" 
but the language (and compiler) won't really help you from cutting off 
fingers.

I've seen good C and bad C.  I've seen good BLISS and bad BLISS.  All 
depends on the person at the keyboard.
