MANY years ago, I heard a rumor of a French FORTRAN.  The French
are probably the only people with enough language chauvinism to
contemplate such a thing.  I have seen a pascal compiler written
in pascal and German (for comments and variable names); I think
it may be the famous Hamburg compiler.  It came from DECUS and
compiled for pdp-11's running DEC operating systems.
