I thought maybe it was just me. When I was a postgrad at Cambridge (2003-2006) I supervised for this course a few times, thinking that a course surveying a bunch of interesting languages would be fun. I seem to recall a bit of smalltalk thrown in, but it was mostly BCPL. I walked by Martin Richards' office and noticed a poster announcing a port of BCPL to .NET or some similar abomination.

It's time to let it go...
