PL/I, (Programming Language One)
a procedural, imperative computer programming language designed by IBM for scientific, engineering, business and system programming uses [1]. Combining features of Fortran, Cobol and Algol-60 with a powerful set of control statements, a three levels memory allocation scheme, static, automatic (via stack) and controlled (via heap), and typed pointers with the ability to perform arithmetic operations on them [2], it supports recursion, and linked data structure handling, fixed-point, floating-point, complex, character string handling, and bit string handling.

PL/I evolved in the mid 60s from the new programming language (NPL) mainly developed at IBM Hursley for the System/360 operating system. The final name PL/I was chosen by IBM programming manager Michael de V. Roberts in May 1965 [3]. PL/I compiler were ported to other platforms and operating systems.
