===Programming languages=== The system was designed to support academic computing and the teaching of computer science, so a rich suite of programming languages was available. The system [[Kernel (operating system)|nucleus]] was written in IBM/370 assembler but most of the native applications were written in [[FORTRAN]]. The system supported the Waterloo [[WATFIV]] and [[WATBOL]] compilers and also provided compilers for [[Pascal (programming language)|Pascal]], C, [[PL/I]], [[BASIC]], [[APL (programming language)|APL]], [[ALGOL]], [[IBM RPG|RPG]], and [[GPSS]]. The system was missing a command scripting language until [[REXX]] was ported from CMS in 1984. Later, in 1986, a complete user interface was written entirely in REXX.
