I spent a couple of years writing FORTRAN for the 1130. They called
it FORTRAN IV, but it was more like III.V, but still better than OS
FORTRAN at the time. Later I worked on an XDS Sigma system, and
their FORTRAN was great (as you'd expect with its SDS heritage). At
the time I liked the language, but I always preferred PL/I.
When PL/I was still under development, at one point it was going to be
called ?FORTRAN VI?.
