In https://archive.org/details/hyper_number_4_5 is possible to find some referrences to other languages in the section Software. Some expert to tell if it can be useful to add some to the wikipedia articles.

== Assemblers (standard and "higher level") omitted ==

IBM's mainframe OS and program products were (and are) written in various assemblers starting with the S/360 Project (see Mythical Man Month, Fred Brooks). Certainly prior mainframes also had assemblers.

During the S/360 period and beyond, aside from assemblers (which were designed for large systems and included a Turing-Complete macro facility) there were also "assemblers" like PL/S, PL/AS, PL/X which cross compiled assembler-like code. Much of this code is still in production today with z/OS. Anyway, all these are important pieces in the history of programming language development. IBM's latest variant, HL/ASM (high level assembler) is still in active use today both at IBM and at systems software vendors.

Also, we should not forget PL/360 which was a Wirth creation similar to PL/S and friends. [[Special:Contributions/192.19.207.250|192.19.207.250]] ([[User talk:192.19.207.250|talk]]) 08:52, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
