One could say the same thing about Java. That the language wasn't well
conceived. That not withstanding, PL/1, like any language has its uses.
It is not the be-all, do-all, end-all of programming languages. No language
is. Having it available for those things that it does do well is the point
of merit. Another tool in the toolbox.

Sorry, I don't share your excitement... I find it hard to get into any
language that the defaults would allow you to add three positive numbers,
get a result of zero, and not throw some sort of error or warning. The
language wasn't well conceived.
