ALGOL anyone? :-)I knew someone would bring that up. That was the first language I learned back in 1970. Great for learning concepts, not so great for other things. Never played with JOVIAL.

ALGOL’s mission in life was to describe algorithms. Pure ALGOL has no input/output statements. Its reserved words were in bold font - try that on your keypunch! :-) It was never meant to be compiled and run.
