The recent revelation that a modern Ada is no longer available for VMS
leads me to ask if people here know of any other languages whose future
on x86-64 VMS (or VMS in general) is in doubt ?
If you do, is there anything VSI can do right now to reduce the chances
of this becoming a major problem for the language in question in the
future ?
I'll start by mentioning one example from my past which is a programming
language called Synergy. This is a third party version of DEC's DIBOL
language and was recommended by DEC as the replacement for DIBOL.
I am out of touch with the current support situation as I have not used
the language for several years (since I left my last job). However,
I imagine there are still a number of VMS sites using it so I wonder
if Synergex will be porting their compiler to x86-64 VMS.
So, do you know of any languages which are of particular concern to you ?
Simon.
