Not sure I agree on Pl/1 I found it easy to work with.

I used to work with a a DBA whose first boss was Dijkstra

how was the DBA Dijkstra & co. designed back then? I guess it's about the time the relational database started to emerge?

Not sure what he was doing - way back then at the NPL probably more technical programming woudl not be surprised if it was FORTRAN IV or 66.
