PL/R is a compiler level language designed for mini-computer programming, whose facilities ranged up to the assembly language level; it can handle all of the hardware features of the computer. Accordingly, PL/R is suitable for writing every kind of program including system programs such as I/O control and interrupt processing. The implementation of PL/R is performed by a bootstrapping method, in both PL/I and PL/R, utilizing a large scale computer system. We believe that this method could be used in other computer systems to implement new computer languages efficiently.
