What is PL/1?

PL/I (Programming Language One) is a high-level, general-purpose programming language designed in the 1960s by IBM. It was intended to combine the best features of ALGOL, COBOL, and FORTRAN, offering a wide range of data types and programming structures. PL/I is known for its flexibility and its ability to handle both scientific and business applications. It is used in various industries, especially in legacy systems and mainframe environments, for tasks such as data processing, system programming, and numerical computation.
