Additions to the PRIMOS operating system for Prime 50 Series computers was written mostly in PL/P in later years. Certain PRIMOS modules written during PRIMOS's early years in Fortran IV were rewritten in PL/P. PL/P was the most widespread compiled programming language used for commercial PRIMOS applications, outpacing the use of the Prime C compiler, the CPL scripting language, and the Fortran IV compiler in commercial applications.
