[edit] SNOBOL primitive by today's standards?
I'm not sure that the statement that SNOBOL is primitive by 21st century standards is supportable. While it's true that SNOBOL was card oriented, as were FORTRAN and COBOL, many have noted that SNOBOL pattern matching has advantages to facilities in more "modern" programming languages.
Perhaps an expanded comment about it being card oriented would be appropriate, or maybe such a discussion belongs in SNOBOL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JordanHenderson (talk • contribs) 12:30, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
