So, any HLL has only indirect access to dataspaces and hiperspaces.
What's the definition of a "HLL"?
Anything that isn't assembler.
Some people think C is a LLL, but that's just wishful thinking.
C is ..., um, That is, it's ... . Got it: a good language for writing buggy
code! Most of the deficiencies of assembler with none of the goodness.
What's the goodness of assembler? I would rather have an optimizer.
I envy the language choices of other platforms (including z/Linux).
We're pretty limited on z/OS. It's either the usual suspects or JVM
languages. I'm almost certain that IBM have a z/OS port of
clang/LLVM because I've seen evidence in their libuv port on github.
Using the LLVM backend it's possible to port a plethora of languages to
z/OS including rust, which is a superb language.
