FYI, I also put REXX into that category if someone tries to be 'fancy'.
And I use REXX a lot.
I remember a programmer, back in '81, that was told that he could no
longer use RPG, but must use COBOL. He was upset so started using
Spanish variable names. This was not California, but was North Alabama,
where few spoke it. (Yes, management did catch him after a month or so.)

Not even close; APL was around nearly a decade before C.
