SPITBOL Featured in “This 70-Year-Old Programmer Is Preserving an Ancient Coding Language on GitHub”

Jordan Pearson has written an article for Vice’s Motherboard site about my work on SPITBOL:
“This 70-Year-Old Programmer Is Preserving an Ancient Coding Language on GitHub”

It makes reference to an article about SPITBOL that appeared on Hacker News a couple of weeks ago: Hacker News.

Enjoyed the Motherboard article. Spitbol was my favourite language when I was a Sys Admin on the 360/370 mainframes. A co-worker made mods to make packing and unpacking of binary data easy. Left it behind when I moved to Unix.
