Interesting. TIL that PDP-11 Fortran-IV-Plus was written in BLISS, and
cross-compiled from a PDP-10. And that it wasn't DEC's first compiler
product written in a higher-level language.
In point of fact, DEC's own Fortran-10 compiler (as opposed to the earlier F40
compiler which was provided by an outside vendor) was written in Bliss-10
(which was a CMU implementation of the language, available through DECUS, long
before DEC wrote their own Bliss-36 implementation).
