Sorry, but I live in a country where we don't yet have to issue
"trigger warnings" in everyday conversation. I don't know about
the rest of Europe however.

However, you have been way too quick to issue a "trigger warning"
request without even telling me what "triggered" you. :-)

Was it comparing BLISS-32 to Macro-32 ?

Was it the desire to have a Pascal-like or Ada-like language as a
viable system implementation language ?

Was it something else ? :-)
