Re: Algol 68 is not ALGOL 60
I never used Algol 68 but I spent many happy hours writing in XAlgol on a Burroughs 5700 in CandE (Timesharing). Better still I spent around 5 years (from some time in 1979 to the end of 1984) writing Simula programs on DECSystem-20s running TOPS-20. I still have a copy of "Simula Begin" which I treat as a sort of Bible of Programming. I remember that time very fondly but I suppose the people starting their programming careers now will, in 50 years time, look back fondly on C#, .NET and Visual Studio. Such is life.
