PL/I

PL/I (Programming Language One) is a versatile computer language created in the 1960s for business and scientific applications. It combines features from languages like COBOL, FORTRAN, and ALGOL, allowing programmers to write complex programs for data processing and calculations. Designed for both ease of use and powerful performance, PL/I enables efficient management of large data systems and scientific computations. It was widely adopted in industries like banking, government, and manufacturing for developing reliable, large-scale software systems.
