algol x language A proposed successor to ALGOL 60, a “short-term solution to existing difficulties”. Three designs were proposed, by Wirth, Seegmuller and van Wijngaarden. [Sammet 1969, p. 194]. (1995-05-07)
- Algol y
algol y language A proposed successor to ALGOL 60, a “radical reconstruction”. Originally a language that could manipulate its own programs at run time, it became a collection of features that were not accepted for ALGOL X. (1995-05-09)
