EXEC 2

0 EXEC 2.0 is a high-level programming language that was developed in the early 1970s. It was designed to be used on IBM mainframe computers and was one of the first languages to support structured programming. EXEC 2.0 was developed by a team of IBM researchers led by Charles Simonyi. Simonyi went on to develop the popular Microsoft Office suite of applications. The EXEC 2.0 language was designed to be easy to use and understand. It supported structured programming, which made it easier to write code that was easy to read and maintain. EXEC 2.0 was used by many large organizations, including banks and insurance companies. It was also used by the US military. The language was eventually replaced by newer languages such as COBOL and PL/I. However, it remains an important part of the history of programming languages.
