The 360/20's best language was RPG. Fist real computer I ever saw, with
a 2415, a 1403 of some kind I believe, and the MFCM, where the last 2
characters stood for card muncher. Use your imagination for the first
two characters. :-)
My dad worked on it and before that, the requisite card machines.

Writing assemble in 16k? Wow. The 2nd job I had, our 360/20 had 4k.
Of course, no one wrote any assembler for it. We used some report
writing programs, a card sort program, and a few other utility
programs. Then, we upgraded the 360/20 to 8K, and made it into a JES2
remote.
Of course, our 360/20 was just a companion computer to the 2 big
machines, our 1410/1401 machines.

I remember a CE ( my dad was a Unisys CE ) used his feet to shove a
stuck 2319 on a DOS/VS back in place.
I also remember writing Assembler on a 360/20 using 16k ..man
