My first experience was in high school on a 1620. It was a discrete circuit (not integrated circuit) machine with no operating system. I learned Fortran II. You toggled in the bootstrap; ran a compiler, on cards, through the reader; ran your source through the reader and punched the object. Load the linker and your object, then the library to punch your executable. Load the executable and data and receive your output on the printer. Ahhh... those were the days:D
If you google the words "universal library" you'll find this link http://www.ul.cs.cmu.edu/html/ at Carnegie Mellon. Why is Google doing something different?
