Haha wussy or not, damn did I get a lot of bullet proof shit done with M2. Now I have to work with the modern version of PL1. The more keywords the better the language, right?
Not sure how to interpret the "more keywords" comment. Words do have the advantage that they force people to put a space around them (usually), though, rather than jamming a bunch of operators together, "C/Unix Hoax" style.
