When I was a REAL programmer, a program (for the IBM 650) was a column of
10-digit numbers.  Comments were for sissies.  Assemblers existed (SAP and
SOAP) but REAL programmers didn't use them.

Fortunately, I stopped being a REAL programmer nearly 25 years ago, and now
I don't think there are any REAL programming languages.
