algol 60
     
         algorithmic language 1960.
     
        a portable language for scientific computations.  algol 60 was
        small and elegant.  it was block-structured, nested,
        recursive and free form.  it was also the first language
        to be described in bnf.
     
        there were three lexical representations: hardware,
        reference, and publication.  the only structured data types
        were arrays, but they were permitted to have lower bounds
        and could be dynamic.  it also had conditional expressions;
        it introduced :=; if-then-else; very general "for" loops;
        switch declaration an array of statement labels generalising
        fortran's computed goto.  parameters were call-by-name
        and call-by-value.  it had static local "own" variables.
        it lacked user-defined types, character manipulation and
        standard i/o.
