SNOBOL was a very interesting language. My first exposure to it was in the 70's. I needed to take the source code of a fortran program, and then replace all the output statements with two statements - one to go to the printer output and one to go to a tape file. A professor recommended I use Snobol to do that. I still have a couple of SNOBOL languages for the PC. Haven't used them in years.
