Is there any taker to takeover the Languages Review?
I keep getting requests like this one...

Hi,
  I noticed that SAS (www.sas.com) is not present in your
list of existing languages. It is still the most powerful data manipulation
/ reporting language i've come across. I would love to find a replacement
for the power of SAS.

I've been programming for 20 years and have used a large variaty from ASM,
APL to COBOL (plus a lot more)

 I have also used a similar language, but much weaker language - Focus - Its
been a long time sorry, so havent got any links. More of a data reporting,
then manipulation language. better at reporting than SQL.

If your intrested "Acumen" was a lanuage sold by the Mars Group (yup the
Choc Bar). Basically this
was APL, except using normal english like statements!

If you would like any further details please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Alastair Nicol
