It is my understanding that PL/M is (or was) the system programming language
of choice for the iAPX processors.

Can someone offer critical commentary as to the suitibility of PL/M as
ssystem programming language over, say, C?

What makes PL/M uniquely suited to programming the iAPX processors?

Thanks...
