Does anyone remember CESIL?

[CESIL]

Reading the thread about binary made me wonder if anyone else here used CESIL when they started programming?

 

I did a CSE in Computer Studies starting in about 1975 and the only pupils allowed to do it were in the top set for Maths.

 

CESIL was very limited and had to be coded on special sheets that were posted to Southampton (I think) uni from our school in Dorset for the programs to be run. This meant the design cycle was rather long and if the numpty at the other end made a typo you just got garbage back

 

So far I can't remember meeting anybody who used this language...

I guess that would be a big fat NO then

 

Jeez I must be older than I think (or feel)

10 years later I was coding in 8080 assembly language. 8O

 

Almost as hard, try getting a script kiddie to code an app with three letter codes and hex.

I did assembly language at college about 5 or 6 years ago. whilst doing my national diploma in telecomms. it was the most boring language ever didn't really enjoy it to much! all we had to was program some traffic lights and play around like that.
