Works ok for me.
I should say, I do like the generous use of IBM Plex and the look of the site.
Hope they get rid of the feedback banner at the bottom soon.
Or at least make it an easy to use set of buttons in the footer (where language
selection is).
Actually, the lack of a metalanguage is the norm except for assemblers; PL/I is
an exception in that regard. Ada, Go, Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, Raku (Perl 6),
Rust, etc., lack metalanguages.

Keep in mind that the metalanguage for C and C++ is horribly crude; it can't do
the sorts of things that make macro attractive in other languages.

Hi. IBM File Manager has a 'View Load Module' function which can show the

to 'View Load Module' provide the ability to search load modules for
particular types of CSECTs. For example, you could search a library for the

Assembler COPY is less powerful than COBOL COPY: there is no COPY REPLACING in

OTOH, Assembler has macros, which are like COPY but much, much more powerful.
