I thought it’d be ‘plan’.

Oxford Languages said “the word vax, more than any other, has injected itself into the bloodstream of the English language in 2021”.

Vax was word of the year 40 years ago.

I myself program in Fortran with Vax extensions.

VAX was designed as a successor to the 16-bit PDP-11, one of the most successful minicomputers in history with approximately 600,000 examples sold. The system was designed to offer backward compatibility with the PDP-11 while extending the memory to a full 32-bit implementation and adding demand paged virtual memory. The name VAX refers to its Virtual Address eXtension.
